Mango Sheera

Sheera is a traditional Maharashtrian desert recipe. Mango gives this simple and holy dish a rich texture and tangy twist. Mango’s are in season now a days and we recently tried Mango Sheera/Halwa recipe so thought of sharing it.

Prep time: 5 mins

Cook time: 30 mins

Total time: 35 mins

Recipe type: dessert

Serves: 5-6

Ingredients

• 1 cups semolina/fine Rava
• 3/4 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup mango pulp fresh or canned
• 1 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup mix dry fruits finely chopped
• 3 tablespoon ghee/clarified butter
• Cardamom powder as per taste
• Saffron 6-7 strands soaked in tablespoon of warm milk

Method

1. Heat ghee in a large pan add Rava and roast on medium flame. Keep stirring continuously while roasting until fragrant.
2. Add warm milk and mix well (if you want water then add half milk and half water, I did not use water.)
3. Now add mango pulp, sugar, and dry fruits . mix all gently and neatly. Cook for 5-6 minutes.
4. Now its time to add most important ingredient cardamom powder. I think dessert is not a dessert without cardamom powder.
5. At last add some ghee for shining along with saffron and mix.
6. Now our delicious hot mango Sheera/halwa is ready, serve hot.

-Enjoy
