Mango Kesari recipe / Mango sheera recipe is simple and very tasty kesari. I am not a big fan of regular rava kesari but after trying this mango and pineapple kesari I have started liking this Kesari. Mango kesari recipe is famous in Tamil Nadu or Southern Part of India. Its otherwise called Mango sheera recipe in Northern region of India. Mango kesari can be easily made in 10 mins. If you are inviting guest or if you have sudden guest this mango kesari is the quick sweet to prepare. It’s not possible to get tasty ripe mangoes all the time, so even at such times we can still make this mango kesari using readymade mango pulp from store. But if mangoes are in season, don’t ever forget to try this Mango Kesari. We see so many varieties of mangoes during Summer so try making use of that season and enjoy this tasty delicious Kesari. In this recipe sugar is added into the water directly . Apart from that it is majorly adapted from Rakskitchen.
Now it’s October in california and I Know pretty sure , we cannot find even one mango around since the mango season is over. No need to get upset ,only at such times readymade cans come in handy. I love using the Alphonsa variety mango pulp in can. This is readily available everywhere. So make use of this mango pulp and start making your mango kesari. I love adding little saffron to this kesari just for the that extra hint in flavor, but it’s not compulsory. THIS MANGO KESARI CAN BE MADE DURING FESTIVAL SEASON, FOR DIWALI CELEBRATION FOR ALL SPECIAL OCCASION AND EVEN SOMETIMES CAN BE ENJOYED WITHOUT ANY REASON. I don’t think we need a specific reason to enjoy any sweets, right?? well I have our simple Rava Kesari recipe here. Do click the link and enjoy browsing the recipe. Will upload pineapple kesari recipe soon. Remember this can be called as mango sheera also in North instead of Mango kesari.
