Mostly people use 1:3 ratio of rava and water for Kesari recipe. But I use 1:4 to make it without lumps and super soft.

Make sure water roll boils well before adding to rava. Big bubbles should come.
Switch off the roasted rava in the cooker and then add the water to it. Water splashes. So stand at a safe distance. 
Do not forget to put the weight valve after adding the water. Rava gets cooked well in the steam. 
You should do the roasting process and sugar syrup boiling parallely in two burners. Otherwise Kesari won’t turn out soft and well cooked.
Rava should be roasted well but make sure color is not dark.
For variations, you can also use ghee, rava, sugar and water in the ratio of 1:2:3:4 which is 1/4 cup of ghee, 1/2 cup rava, 3/4 cup sugar and 2 cups water.
