Kesari is the South Indian version of Suji halva. As we all know Suji ka halva/Rava sheera/Kesari is offered as prasad/naivedhyam for religious occasions. Apart from plain suji halva there are many other variation like mango kesari, pineapple kesari are also similarly popular.
We can prepare this sweet dish with milk or water , whatever you like. Summer is started and mangoes are available now. So today I have prepared Mango kesari.
