Since we lived in Bangalore for a few years, we used to order this dish a lot in hotels, so consistently it has become our family’s favorite dish. We have different varieties of baths prepared with rava, which include the chow-chow bath, also called the kara bath or tomato bath, and the Kesari bath, which is Rava Kesari.

If we serve this to children, they will love this taste and gradually they will be addicted to the taste of the Kesari bath. It also contains a lot of nutrient values, since we are adding milk and Bombay Rava, it contains lots of calcium and carbs.
