Mango Sheera recipe

Now, let's jump to the recipe. You'll need the following:

For the mango sheera recipe, let's first prepare the mango puree. Wash and peel the mango well. Roughly cut the fruit into pieces and throw out the seed or pit. Mix the chopped fruit gently in a mixer. Put the mango pulp in a bowl to use later. 

Melt one small spoon of butter in a tiny frying pot or pan. Add the chopped cashews and roast gently till golden and crispy. To avoid burning them, keep stirring.

Then take it away from the heat and cool it. Heat butter in a pan and roast semolina gently until it is lightly browned and nice-smelling.

Meanwhile, set the saucepan on low flame to heat gradually and add one cup of water. Add sugar and boil. Allow it to boil for a minute.

Stir the semolina continuously, in a constant stream, until it is lightly roasted. At this point, make sure you are stirring the mixture to prevent lumps from forming.

The semolina mixes gently with the water and freezes to a halwa beautifully. If there are any lumps, break them back with a spoon, and stir gently. Next, add the mango puree to the suji sheera (halwa) and mix gently. Cook the sheera for 5 to 7 mins, occasionally stirring until the halwa starts coming off from the sides.

Turn the heat- off and garnish with cardamom powder and roasted cashews. Finally, give a stir and serve. Sprinkle Jaiphal Powder & Almond Flakes on the Mango sheera Serve this Mango Kesari (Sheera) for dessert or breakfast with Suji (Rava) Upma, or make a special dessert for the festive season.
