kesari bhath recipeKesari bhath recipe | rava kesari recipe – a fragrant dessert prepared with semolina (rava), ghee, saffron strands and dry fruits. This recipe is very common in Karnataka and derived its name from its colour, where kesari means orange colour.

Ugadi, new year day, is celebrated with great pomp in Karnataka, Andra Pradesh and in Maharashtra and Goa as Gudi padwa. Ugadi, derived from the sanskrit word yuga which means age and adi means beginning. In Mangalore and Udupi region tuluva’s celebrate new year as bisu, usually in second week of april.

Preparation for the festival  starts with cleaning the house, buying new clothes with lot of excitement . On the day of Ugadi, after head bath house is decorated with mango leaves thorans and colour full rangoli. Lord is decorated with fresh flowers and naivedyam is offered, poojas are performed to seek his blessings at the begining of the year.

I prepared this kesari bhath recipe this time on ugadi for naivedyam. This recipe is a popular dish during festivals. This kesari bhath is eaten together with spicier upma called kara bhath and this combination is a popular breakfast in Karnataka as chow-chow bhath.
