    July 14, 2015 by Raks Anand 36 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    Mango kesari or mango sheera, which ever way it is called is delicious sweet done with semolina/ rava/ sooji and ripe mango.

    Let's see how to make this with easy step by step photos and quick video

    When mangoes are in season, you can quickly make use of this easy sweet to satisfy your sweet cravings and not letting overripen mangoes go waste.

    Rava kesari is always a hit in family. After trying paal kesari and fruit kesari, this is one I haven’t tried before.

    Thought of trying out this delicious sweet treat without any artificial flavor and color, it turns out really flavorful and looks pleasant too.

    Had some over ripen banganapalli so perfect time to start something sweet with my first ceramic pan.

    Just like my kesari but with mango's goodness. So make sure to cook the sooji before adding sugar like I always say.

    This will ensure fluffy and soft results rather than sticky and chewy. Do try it and let me know your feedback through star rating or in the comments.

    5. Once it becomes like porridge, lower the flame and cook covered until the rava is soft.
      5-cook
    6. Add sugar and cardamom and mix well. It will loosen and also take care not to let form any lumps. Keep stirring until it thickens.
      6-cooked

      7-stir
    8. Once it leaves the sides of the pan and forms a mass, add cashew nuts and mix well.

    I loved it a lot in room temperature, than when it was hot.

    Notes

    • Choose mango that is sweet and less in fibre. I used banganapalli.
    • Ghee can be reduced as per your need.
    • Make sure the rava is cooked perfectly well and soft before adding sugar.
    • Otherwise it will become chewy.
    • Mango adds slight tanginess, so add salt to balance it.

      Hi raji, looking so yummy. Today I tried garam masala from your post. It came out well. I prepare vegetable briyani using that. Taste and aroma is so good. Thanks Raji.

      I tried this over this weekend. Just followed your exact steps. It came out amazing. Felt like a twist to regular kesari can be made very easily ! Thank you for inspiring me to cook this.

      Wonderful recipe! Was looking for a new variety of sweet and made this, turned out really yummy (used only 1 cup sugar for one cup rava). The kadai was cleaned out in 5 mins 🙂

      Rava will not get cooked along with sugar. So better to first cook rava and then add sugar.

      I have been trying to make hotel-style kesary baath for a long time now. But though tasty, I never get the right consistency like how popar hotels make it. Your directions were so detailed and accurate, this is the best sheera i have ever made. Thanks!
