Why sugar syrup for Kesari?
Kesari is prepared with minimal ingredients and it is one of the easy sweet. The only challenge is the lumps we tend to get after adding sugar. My pressure cooker Kesari is one shortcut way.

Since we don’t add milk, Kesari stays good for around 3 days in the fridge. It also depends on the weather condition. For best texture and taste always warm the Kesari before serving
