Aam or Mango is in season and in abundance. It’s Gudi Padwa / Bihu/ Baisakhi/ Ugadi in rest of India except West Bengal. So keeping the festivity in mind and wishing all Chefs ‘greetings’ I present Aam Kesari or Mango Kesari with Alphonso Mangoes

1

Add Mangoes to blender and add seeds from green cardamom, saffron and sugar. Blend smooth and set aside
2

In one flame boil water and in another take a pan and melt the ghee, add semolina or sooji and cashew nuts. Roast on low flame until a lovely aroma is there and cashew nuts are light brown
PS : this step is very important as Halwa would having lumps and wouldn’t taste good. So stirring on low flame is essential
3

While semolina is being roasted, water is being boiled in another flame. Add mango purée to semolina and mix well
4

Add water slowly like a stream and keep whisking to avoid lumps. Water will be absorbed while this step is being done. Once all the water is added cover and cook on low flame for 2-3 mins, set aside.
