Mango Halwa Recipe

Mango Halwa is a very simple sweet usually made during mango season when ripe mangoes are easily available everywhere. It is prepared by cooking mango pulp slowly with sugar and ghee until it turns thick, glossy and comes together. This sweet does not need many ingredients at all, still it tastes rich and very satisfying to eat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mango puree
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoon ghee
  • 6 broken cashews

Instructions

  • In a thick bottomed pan kadai, add mango puree cook for 2 minutes.
  • 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 teaspoon 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 ½ teaspoon 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

  • Choosing mangoes – I just use ripe and flavorful mangoes only. I try not to use sour or fibrous mangoes as it affects the texture badly.
  • Continuous stirring – I usually keep stirring so it does not burn at the bottom. I do not leave it unattended even for few minutes. 
  • Ghee – I add ghee little by little only when it starts thickening. This helps the halwa to come together nicely.
  • Cooking – I always cook in low flame only. I try not to rush the process, slow cooking gives best taste and good shine.
  • Pan choice – I always use a thick bottom pan or kadai. Thin pans tend to burn the halwa faster and spoil both taste and color.
