Mango season is going to end, soon. So I keep buying them often to make the most when it is available. Apart from eating the fruit as it is, I had lot more to be used up. And I decided to make a mango flavored sheera. There is no second thoughts when it comes to making sweet. It is always welcome at home. Its very easy to make and tastes delicious with the flavor of mango.
You need
- Roasted rava/semolina - 1 cup
- Milk - 1 cup
- Water-1/2 cup
- Fresh mango pulp - 1 cup
- Sugar -1 cup
- Ghee - 2 tblspn
- Cardamom powder -1/2 tspn
- Cashewnuts,raisins - 1 tblspn
Method
Select a medium sized mango which doesn't have fibre. De-skin and cut the mango into cubes. Pulse in the mixer and make a fine puree. You can use tinned pulp too. In that case adjust the sugar accordingly.
In a kadai or thick bottomed vessel, take mango pulp, milk, water and sugar. Boil the mixture till the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the roasted rava and mix well. Cook on low heat. When the mixture starts to thicken, add 2 tablespoon of ghee. Continue to cook till all the liquid dries up and the mixture is moist. Switch of the heat.
In a seasoning ladle, add a teaspoon of ghee. Roast cashew and raisins. Add it to the sheera. Finally add cardamom powder. Mix well. Serve warm.
