RAVA KESARI (SOJJI)

February 14th is Valentines Day and this dish goes out to my 5 year old daughter who is the biggest fan of this dish RAVA KESARI (SOJJI) Rava Kesari also known as Sojji in Tamilnadu. Sojji is a simple, easy to make and very enjoyable sweet. "Easy to make" is an under statement, as; if the proportion of the ingredients is not correct; the Kesari will come out either too pasty or too dry. If the flame is too strong t he sojji wont come out well. So, here’s the recipe for a perfect kesari (sojji).

There is nothing new in the story line of this movie but the difference is pretty obvious in the way the screenplay has been drafted and executed on the adaptation of a real life incident and the director Susindharan has to be given special credit for the same. "Vennila" is a struggling kabadi group which fails to win a single match at home and away. To maintain their self prestige they also try inviting their weak neighbours for a game but there too they are beaten fair and square. Mari (Vishnu) shares a passion for the game along with his group of friends from a very small age and that passion kept continuing as they grew older in life.
