Mango kesari recipe | Mango sheera

July 14, 2015 by Raks Anand 36 Comments /

mango-kesari
Mango kesari or mango sheera, which ever way it is called is delicious sweet done with semolina/ rava/ sooji. Rava kesari is always a hit in family. After trying paal kesari and fruit kesari, this is one I haven’t tried before. So thought of trying out. Without any artificial flavour and colour, it turns out really flavourful and looks pleasant too.

When I went to Chennai, I saw this ceramic pan my Mom-in-law had, I loved cooking in it. Though I was only a week there and it was the last day, my in-laws were ready to go for shopping and buy that pan for me. Since it was hectic, I asked them to buy and keep and I would take it along with me, next time I visit there. But after coming here to SG, I saw this pan in BHG and got it. I wanted to use it immediately and thought will make kesari to start with something sweet as it was weekend. Then thought why not try mango kesari / mango sheera as I had ripe mango in stock.

Mango kesari recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Dessert
Prep Time: 10 mins    |  Cook time: 25 mins     |  Serves: 4

Ingredients

Rava/ Semolina – 1/2 cup


Mango pulp – 1/2 cup


Sugar – 1 cup


Water – 1 & 1/2 cup


Salt – A pinch


Cardamom – 1, powdered


Ghee – 1/4 cup


Cashew nuts – 5


Method

  1. Scoop the mango pulp from a well ripen mango. Grind it to make it smooth. 1-pulp
  2. In a pan, add 2 tsp of ghee and fry  broken cashew nuts until golden and keep aside. Add rava to the same pan with 1/8 cup of ghee. 2-roast
  3. Roast for a minute or until fragrant in medium flame without changing its colour. Keep aside and boil 1 & 1/2 cup of water with salt. Add mango pulp to it. 3-boil
  4. Mix well and add the roasted rava to it, stirring briskly in such a way to avoid forming lumps. 4-add
  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. Add rest of the ghee and mix well. 7-stir
  8. Once it leaves the sides of the pan and forms a mass, add cashewnuts and mix well. 8-ready

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.

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

    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!
