Mango kesari recipe | Mango sheera

 Mango kesari or mango sheera, which ever way it is called is delicious sweet done with semolina/ rava/ sooji. Rava kesari is always a hit in family. After trying paal kesari and fruit kesari, this is one I haven’t tried before. So thought of trying out. Without any artificial flavour and colour, it turns out really flavourful and looks pleasant too. Especially in the mango season perfect dish.

Scoop the mango pulp from a well ripen mango. Grind it to make it smooth.In a pan, add 2 tsp of ghee and fry  broken cashew nuts until golden and keep aside. Add rava to the same pan with 1/8 cup of ghee.Roast for a minute or until fragrant in medium flame without changing its colour. Keep aside and boil 1 & 1/2 cup of water with salt. Add mango pulp to it. Mix well and add the roasted rava to it, stirring briskly in such a way to avoid forming lumps.Once it becomes like porridge, lower the flame and cook covered until the rava is soft.Add sugar and cardamom and mix well. It will loosen and also take care not to let form any lumps. Keep stirring until it thickens. Add rest of the ghee and mix well. Once it leaves the sides of the pan and forms a mass, add cashewnuts and mix well.
