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!!
