MANGO KESARI

As this is a mango season, I am trying recipes with mangoes. Here I pureed the mango to make the job easier and add to the kesari. Also adjust sugar as per your taste buds. Mango Kesari or Halwa is a mouthwatering sweet that made with sooji/ rava , mangoes, sugar as main ingredients. You can serve it as a dessert or sweet. I love mangoes too much and also love to add mango flavour and make different desserts and sweets. In that way, I am going to make mango kesari today. I have already shared a different recipe for the same earlier on my blog.

3-4 tablespoon Ghee

1½ Cup Water

3/4 Cup Sugar

5-6 Cashews, sliced

6-7 strands of Saffron, soaked in 1 tablespoon milk

METHOD :

STEP 1 – Heat 2 tablespoon ghee in a pan, 

add nuts and roast them for 1-2 minutes. Remove and keep aside.

STEP 3 - Roast for  8-10 minutes on low flame until your house is full of nice aroma  and set aside.

STEP 4 – Take mango, sugar, and cardamom in a mixer pot and blend it to a smooth paste. Measure and keep it aside. 

STEP  5 – Heat water and let it come to boil.

STEP 6 - Add water in roasted rava, mix well. Cover and cook on low flame for 2-3 minutes until all the water is absorbed.

STEP 7 – Cook until it becomes soft and slightly dry.

STEP 8 – At this stage, add saffron milk and give a nice mix.

STEP 9 - Then add mango sugar paste. It now becomes gooey. Keep stirring to avoid lumps.

STEP 10 – Add 1 more tablespoon ghee, mix and cook covered on low flame for 3 minutes.
