Ingredients

• 1/4 cup rava / sooji
• 1/8 cup ghee
• 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup water
• 1 small mango
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 5 whole cashews
• 6 strands saffron

Note: I used 1 rava: 2 and 1/4 (water) cup ratio

Instructions

• Heat half of ghee in a pan add rava and roast for just 2mins in low flame, set aside.
• Take mango, sugar, saffron and cardamom in a mixer and blend it to a smooth paste. Measure and set aside. It came to almost 3/4 cup.
• Heat water in a pan when it starts to boil add roasted rava. Cook in low flame.
• Cook until it becomes soft and slightly dry.
• At this stage add mango sugar mixture. Again it will become gooey. Keep stirring to avoid lumps.
• Add remaining ghee reserving just a teaspoon for frying cashews, cook covered in low flame for 3mins.
• Fry cashews in ghee till golden brown and add it to the kesari. When it forms a mass and comes together then switch off.
• Serve Mango Kesari hot / warm with cashews garnished…heaven!

Notes

• I used Neelam variety of mango.
• Use less fibre fleshy mango variety.
• Adding saffron is optional but I love mango kesar combo very much, its a match made.
• Also adding kesar gives a deep yellow color to the kesari even without adding any food color.
• You can add any nuts of your choice, you can even add chopped almonds.
• I used 1 (rava):2 and 1/4(water) cup ratio.
• It will become thick, you can heat it up while serving for the ghee to melt and grease the kesari.
• Enjoy the kesari hot / warm with a dollop of ghee….yumm!!
