In this blog post, we will discuss everything you need to know about Mango Kesari Recipe! (Step-by-Step-Recipe)
About Mango Rava Kesari:
Mango Rava Kesari is a variant of the regular kesari which is prepared with the addition of fresh mango pulp to the regular ingredients used to prepare kesari.
Mango Kesari is also known as mango halwa is a very popular dessert in India and is made during festivals and weddings. It is also served as a prasadam (offering to God) in temples.
Mango Kesari can be made with either fresh or canned mangoes. I prefer to use fresh mangoes as they are already sweetened and have a lovely flavor.
You can use any type of mango for this recipe, but I prefer the Alphonso variety as it is very sweet and fragrant.
Mango Kesari Recipe is best served hot or cold. If you are serving it hot, then you can garnish it with some chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios.
If you are serving it cold, then you can garnish it with some mango slices.

Mango Rava Kesari is best served warm or at room temperature. It’s rich, flavorful, and perfect for:
- Festivals and poojas as a fruity twist on traditional sheera or kesari.
- A quick dessert after lunch or dinner.
- A breakfast sweet along with upma or poha.
- Garnish with ghee-roasted cashews, almonds, and a few saffron strands for a festive look.
- You can also serve it in small cups or bowls during family get-togethers or as a part of a South Indian-style meal.
Storage Suggestion:
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

- Reheat in a pan or microwave with a splash of milk or ghee to bring back softness.

Pro Tips to Make Mango Kesari:
- It’s important to roast the semolina (suji) until it’s aromatic. This is key to the success of this recipe. The grains become crisp, dry, and separate when the suji is properly roasted.
- If you don’t thoroughly roast the rava, the halwa will turn lumpy and sticky.
- Make sure the sooji is well roasted before adding the sugar; this will result in fluffy and soft kesari instead of sticky and chewy ones.
- Choose a mango that is sweeter and contains less fiber.

Basic Ingredients Used to Make Mango Kesari:
Mango Pulp: You can make mango pulp at home by pureeing fresh mango flesh. Always choose the mango varieties that are not fibrous, like Alphonso, Kesari, Dusseheri, etc.
Sugar: Use either white or cane sugar. The use of cane sugar darkens the color of the Mango Kesari slightly.
Water: I used water in today’s recipe. You can even use milk if you want a rich and creamy Mango Sheera.
Saffron: To make Mango Kesari, I have used saffron, which goes really well with mango flavor and also brings a nice bright color. But you can skip it, in case you don’t have it or you don’t want to add it.
Nuts: I have used cashew and black raisins. You can use nuts of your choice if you want to.
Ghee: It’s a definite must-have. However, if you want, you can replace half of the ghee with flavorless vegetable oil, or cook it entirely in oil with only 1-2 tablespoons of ghee added at the end for taste and aroma. But, if you want an authentic taste, then do not compromise on using ghee in this recipe.
