Method:

In a microwave safe bowl mix together rava and 2TBSP ghee.  Roast on high power for 1 minute.
Remove and mix it well and cook for another 1 minute.  Transfer it to a plate.
In the same bowl, place all the cut fruits and cook for 1 minute.  Mix well and add the sugar and cook for 2 minutes.
