Method:

• In a pan add 1 tblsp of ghee and roast the cashew nuts. Keep it aside.

• Roast till it turns slight golden colour. Be careful not to burn this.

• Boil the milk and add it to the roasted rava.

• Add 1 -2 tblsp of ghee to this.
• Add the mango pulp to this. I used fresh mango pulp for this mango sheera.

• Mix well. My mango pulp was slightly coarsely ground and so it could find mango bits in the kesari.
• Mix well evenly. Add 1 tblsp of ghee.
• Add the pinch of salt. For any sweets adding a pinch of salt brings out a best taste.

• Cook for 2 minutes in low flame. If needed add few more tsp of ghee to give a nice glaze.
• Add the roasted cashew nuts.

• Serve warm or hot.

1. Instead of milk you can add water like how we do for kesari.
2. Always use fresh mango pulp for best results.
3. The kesari won’t get curdled after adding the mango pulp, so do not worry.
4. You can add fresh mango bits to the kesari while cooking the rava with milk.
5. I used alphonso mangoes, you can use any variety of mango for this mango sheera | mango kesari.
