FAQs
1. Why is my Kesari dense and not fluffy?
This often happens if you add the semolina too quickly to the hot ghee or if you don't cook it long enough. Ensure the semolina is well roasted and the milk is added gradually, stirring constantly.
2. Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can use full-fat coconut milk or almond milk for a variation in flavor and texture. However, full-fat cow's milk will give the most traditional result.
