A healthy Kesari made with oats, low added sugar and lower fat levels than traditional version
- 3 cups Chopped apples (2 large apples)
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1.25 cups Rolled oats (comes to 1 cup oat flour)
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 2 Tbsp Sugar (Add more based on your individual need)
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1/4 tsp Elaichi Powder
- Raisins (handful)
- Sliced Almonds (handful)
-
Add 2 Tbsp butter, 3 cups apples and turmeric powder to a cooker and pressure cook for 2 whistles
-
Once it cools, open the lid and make a puree using a hand blender or mixer jar.
-
Powder 1.25 cups rolled oats in a blender. It will become just slightly over 1 cup oat flour.
-
To a pan add 1/4 cup butter, raisins, almonds and saute. Once puffed and golden, strain out the raisins and almonds
-
Saute the oat flour in remaining butter until well roasted.
-
On a low heat, add 1.5 cups water, roasted flour, raisins + almonds, remaining butter, elaichi powder and apple sauce and bring to a simmer.
-
Add additional sugar to taste. Switch off the heat.
-
Close the cooker/pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve
- Choose sweet apples rather than tart ones for applesauce. I used red delicious variety.
- The small amount of turmeric powder adds a nice yellow color without being detected.
