Semiya Kesari

This is my first post on this blog so thought of starting with my all time favourite sweet and i owed this sweet to my husband for his good words which he had uttered last week. But i was suppose to treat him with halwa and i did the same. Yes i served him semiya halwa which i had prepared for him in a different way. But i swear below is the recipe for making semiya KESARI...
