Ingredients

  • 1 cup mango puree
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoon 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 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 1/2 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

  • 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.
