KESARI

I don’t have much to write about this sweet dish, that was responsible for cultivating the interest in cooking and experimenting for others.
It might sound very cliche, but kesari is an emotion to me. I can tell with pride, that most of the people I know come to me for my Kesari. I don’t want to waste time in mere words. May Kesari sprinkle magic in all your kitchens!
