Mango Kesari Halwa

Ingredients

1 cup Sooji
1/4 cup Ghee
2-1/2 cups Water
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Mango (Ripe) , peeled and pureed
1/2 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
10 Cashew nuts , halved
10 Almonds , chopped

Method

We will first prepare the mango pulp.Wash the mango well and peel it. Roughly chop the fruit into pieces and discard the seed.Blend the chopped mango in a mixer until smooth. Put the pulp in a bowl and set it aside for later use.In a small tadka pan melt a teaspoon of ghee. Add the chopped cashew nuts to it and gently toast them, over a low heat until golden brown and crisp, taking care not to burn them. Turn off the heat, and set the pan aside for later use.Heat the 1/4 cup of ghee in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat and dry roast the semolina (rava) gently, until it gets lightly toasted and aromatic. Meanwhile, put 2-1/2 cups of water in a saucepan and set it over a medium heat. Add the sugar and bring it to a boil. Allow it to boil for a minute.At this stage, add it to the roasted semolina slowly, in a steady stream while continuously stirring the semolina. Lower the flame at this stage, and ensure that you are stirring the mixture, to prevent the formation of lumps.The semolina will combine with the water and slowly you get a halwa-like consistency.If there are any lumps, break them with the back of the spoon and continue to stir gently.Next, add the mango pulp to the sooji sheera (halwa) and mix gently.Cook the sheera (halwa) for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the halwa comes away from the sides of the pan.Turn off the heat and garnish with cardamom powder and the toasted cashews. Give it a last stir and serve.Serve the Mango Kesari (Sheera) as a dessert for summer parties.

  1. The very root of your writing whilst appearing reasonable initially, did not really sit well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer but just for a short while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one would do nicely to help fill in those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I could undoubtedly end up being amazed.
