Chocolate Strawberry Kesari "Cocoa Berry Kesari"

BM#12: W2, Day4: This is actually a re-post...The reason why I am doing a re-post is not because I was a lazybum and didn't have nothing to post about..Its just that I sincerely felt that this dish deserves another go..The Original post was made ages ago when this blog was relatively new and not seen many visitors. So it is very possible that many of you may not have seen it..I thought to myself that it would be a sin if I let this dish go unnoticed.

I make this quite often either on festive occasions or when I am entertaining guests..Truth be told I have gotten only praises for this luscious concoction! So here you go-

First post and the recipe is here. The original post does not have step by step recipe. So I decided to post the step-wise pictures here..

For your ears: ""Why this Kolaveri di??"--> Why this murderous rage, Girl?? 
This is just to spite my husband who doesn't get why this song has gotten so popular that more than 1 million people have shared this song on Facebook, why Japanese PM loved this song that he wanted to meet the guy who sang this song, why CNN named this the best song of 2011 and why Youtube awarded Gold Medal to this guy..

Stepwise pictures and procedure:

• Clean and cut strawberries.

• Puree it in a blender.

• Fry the semolina in little Ghee until it is lightly browned.

• Fry the raisins and nuts in Ghee.

• Bring water and milk to a boil. Add the sooji and stir continuosly to avoid clumps.

• Mixture thickens after a while.

• Now add the berry pulp.

• Follow-up with sugar and nuts.

• Stir on a low-flame until the mixture thickens again. Set aside in a bowl and cover with a lid.

• In the same wide pan, cook the semolina with milk and water. Mix the melted ghee and cocoa in a bowl.

• Add the sugar to the sooji and it will liquefy the mixture again. To it add the cocoa mix, nut-raisin mixture.

• Stir until this thickens.

• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Using 2 spoons, stuff the ice-cream scoop with 2 flavored kesari.

• Dump the CocoaBerry Kesari balls on the cookie sheet. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Either way it tastes splendid. Serve it with a cup of Chai.
