Mango Kesari Recipe

Mango Kesari is a delicious sweet made using mango puree in the regular cooking of kesari. This kesari has a natural vibrant color and fruity flavor. It is basically the regular rava kesari but with mango puree added which makes it more delicious and refreshing. The taste is fruity, mildly tangy from mango yet rich because of ghee and saffron.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup rava / sooji
  • ⅛ cup ghee
  • ½ cup + ¼ cup water
  • 1 small mango
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 5 whole cashews
  • 6 strands saffron

Note: I used 1 rava: 2 and ¼ (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 ¾ 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

  • Rava roasting – I always roast rava for few minutes in ghee. It removes raw flavor and gives nice aroma and texture.
  • Mango choice – I have used Neelam mango. You can use Alphonso or any sweet variety with less fibre.
  • Sugar adjust – You can taste your mango and then adjust sugar. Some mangoes are naturally very sweet, so add less.
  • Texture – Cook till kesari comes together and leaves sides of pan. I usually cook covered for few minutes so it sets nicely.
  • Nuts – You can add cashews, almonds or even raisins fried in ghee. I have used cashewnuts here.
