Rava Kesari and Filter Coffee

Kesari recipe is a popular and delicious South Indian sweet made from rava (cream of wheat), sugar, ghee (clarified butter), saffron and dry fruits. This melt in the mouth orange-colored sweet is also known as Rava Kesari. Rava kesari got famous in Tamil Nadu during the period of the Maratha Empire around the 18th century, and spread throughout India thereafter. However, the origin of this dessert seems to be more ancient, as rava kesari seems to be an adaptation of an Ottoman treat called irmik helvasi or semolina (irmik) halva. Filter Coffee - Indian filter coffee is a coffee drink made by mixing frothed and boiled milk with the infusion obtained by percolation brewing of finely ground coffee powder in a traditional Indian filter.[citation needed] The drink is also referred to as Madras filter coffee, Kumbakonam degree coffee, Mylapore filter coffee, Mysore filter coffee, Palakkad Iyer coffee or South Indian Filter Coffee (Kaapi). Outside the country of India the term "filter coffee" may refer to drip brew coffee, which is a distinct form of preparing coffee.
