Mango Halwa is a yummy delight sweet made by simmering mango puree continuously with ghee to a halwa consistency. Mango Halwa is a sweet & dessert apt to make in mango season and special occasions. If mango taste & flavour has a destiny – it is Mango Halwa!
Mango Halwa is one of my recent experiments and one of the easiest halwa recipes that you can make when you have mangoes in season. Mango Halwa is so easy to make with just few ingredients in hand.
This is the first time I am trying this mango halwa recipe and I should say it didn’t disappoint even for not so mango lover like me, truly speaking to me it tasted more like the naturo candy. You can easily spread this halwa on a tray and cut into squares but I wanted to use the mini ramekins for the pics so did it this way.
I saw few recipes using cornflour as thickening agent but I didn’t want to use it so followed my instincts and made this mango halwa and tada the halwa came out soo good.

Mango Halwa
Ingredients
- 1 cup mango puree
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp ghee
- 6 broken cashews
Instructions
- In a thick bottomed pan kadai, add mango puree cook for 2mins.
- Then add sugar, keep stirring and cook in low flame. When sugar is added the mixture will turn runny then it will start to become thick.
- When it starts to thicken and stick add ghee 1 tsp at a time at intervals. Keep stirring and cooking in low flame.
- Keep cooking when it sticks add ghee and keep stirring.
- At one stage it will come together and roll like a ball. Add the rest of the ghee and bring it together. By now you can see the glossy halwa look that's the perfect stage.
- Fry cashews in 1/2 tsp ghee till they turn golden brown, now add it to the halwa.
- Give a quick stir and switch off. Serve Mango Halwa hot or warm.
Notes
- I haven't added any thickening agent so it takes at least 20mins to attain halwa consistency.
- The halwa will thicken after cooling. You can even spread it on a tray and then cut it. But if you are planning to spread on a tray do it when its is still hot only then it will get set neatly.
- It will look gooey while switching off, but will get thick after cooling down. I clicked almost 30 mins after the halwa was done.
- Choose good flavourful juicy mangoes which is a must for this halwa.
