Mango kesari

Who doesn't like kesari? Its any sweet tooth's favourite! And who doesn't like mangoes - no wonder they are called the king of fruits! What if I share with you an amazing combination of these two! I'm sure you ll want to give it a try. Please do with the following ingredients and steps.

Ingredients

• Mango pulp : 1/2 cup
• Sooji / semolina : 1/2 cup
• Water : 1.5 cup
• Sugar : 1 cup
• Ghee : 3-4 tsp
• Cashews and raisins : 10 each

Method

1. Add 1 tsp ghee to a pan and roast the cashews and raisins till they bubble up and keep it aside
2. Add another teaspoon of ghee to same pan and fry the sooji  for 3-4 minutes on low flame. Keep this aside to cool
3. Add 1.5 cups of water to the pan and bring it to boil and once boiled add in the mango pulp and whisk well to combine
4. Add the fried sooji to this mango mixture and combine well. Keep stirring till water is absorbed. Close lid and cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan and cook this way till all water is absorbed
5. After 5 minutes mix well and add 1 cup sugar . The sugar will start dissolving and make the kesari watery. Keep stirring till it thickens once again and starts to leave the bottom of the pan.
6. Add 1 tsp ghee and mix well again. Also add in the nuts and raisins keeping aside few for garnish

Delicious kesari is ready and you can serve it as a sweet, dessert or even as a snack!
