Mango being on the shelves of all vegetable stores now, it demands me to make something with it atleast once in a week. Ofcourse the other 6 days of the week I eat it just as it is!! Yummy mangoes, cant stop eating them!! :P

Method:

Heat water in a thick bottomed pan or a non stick deep pan. 

Measure sugar and rava together in a bowl. 

Once the water starts boiling, reduce the flame completely and pour the rava sugar mixture stirring continuously. Make sure you keep stirring while pouring so that it doesn't form lumps anywhere. 

Keep stirring on medium flame until it thickens slightly. Now add the mango puree and mix well. Once it all thickens, add ghee and keep mixing until rolls into a ball without sticking to the sides of the pan. 

Fry few cashews in ghee and add it to the kesari. 

Mango kesari is ready :)
