We all must have had coconut poli and pooran poli, with channa dhal but rava poli was new for me when i first tasted it in my neighbour ,madhavi's house.I loved the taste but did not get a chance to try this. But finally i got a chance last week,when i didn't have coconut to do poli(since i don't like channa dhal poli ,i tried the tasty rava poli, which my neighbour gave. its very simple.. make kesari stuff it in poli dough... simple uh?

1)Heat ghee in a pan and fry rava, till aroma comes.
2)Boil water and add rava slowly.

3)When rava gets cooked add sugar slowely keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps

NOTE: kesari should be soft to do the stuffing . Do not let it cool too much ,as it will be hard to roll out as poli.
