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.

My notes

Adding mango pulp not only adds colour but also adds flavour, goodness of mango in the sweet.

I used banganapalli which is sweeter in side but pale in hue. I suggest to use mango that is sweet and not too sour as it may affect the taste.

Alphonso works well too as it has bring orangish colour. Just make sure it is ripen well.

Scoop the mango pulp firstly from the mango. Then puree it to make it smooth.
In a pan, add 2 teaspoon of ghee and fry broken cashew nuts until golden and keep aside. After that, add rava to the same pan with ⅛ cup of ghee.
Roast for a minute or until fragrant in medium flame without changing its colour. Keep aside and boil 1 & ½ cup of water with salt. After that, add mango pulp to it.
Mix well and add rava that is roasted, to it, stirring briskly in such a way to avoid forming lumps.
Once it becomes like porridge, lower the flame and cook covered until the rava is soft.
After that, 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.
Add rest of the ghee now and mix well.
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.

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!
