Mango Kesari | Mango Sheera | Mampazha Kesari Recipe with video and step by step instructions for easy learning.
Mango Kesari | Mango Sheera | Mampazha Kesari Recipe is a tasty dessert which is prepared during festival times or as an offering to God. The blend of mango, rava and ghee makes it mouth watering.
It can either be eaten cold or hot. In both ways it tastes good. But I always prefer to eat hot just taken out from stove. Care should be taken while cooking rava Because they should be more than half cooked before adding the rava so that rava gets cooked properly and if you add the mango pulp early you will not get the correct texture of mango halwa.
