MANGO KSHEERA (Maavinahannu Kesaribaath)!

 Hello...

Back after many days... after being done with my cycle to be specific... 😔

Had made a post earlier related a mango prep I made then... 

MAAVINAHANNU MASAALE OGGARANE (Mangalorean Traditional Mango Curry)

This relates to the same time in real... SO there would be a few references that may be repetitive... so please bear 🙏 

From the mangoes I received I had kept aside a glass of pulp with this prep in mind... Maavinahannina Kesaribaath.... My mom prepares pineapple kesaribaath/ksheera & it is very popular in our circle for everyone who has tasted her prep drools over it... 😋 And I wanted to try it with the mango that found me by destiny....

There's nothing much to share about it... So let us get down to the prep directly...

Jump To Recipe

Used up a glass of pulp from the lot.... 

Ingredients :

Semolina (Bombay Rava/Sooji)

Ghee - 2tbsp

Cashew Nuts - 6 halves

Raisins - 5

Cloves - 2

Yellow Food Colour/Saffron Strands - A pinch

Mango Pulp - 1 Cup

Water - 1 & a 1/2 Cup

Cardamom Powder - A pinch

Sugar To Taste

Instructions :

1) Heat Ghee in a wok/Pan & toss in the cashew + raisins + cloves... Saute until done 

2) Add semolina & stir fry for a couple of minutes...

3) Simultaneously, in a pan boil the water & add in the yellow food color/saffron strands & the mango pulp & mix well...  bring it to boil & turn off the flame...

4) Now add this water into the semolina wok stirring slowly as it bubbles out, to avoid the lump formation..

5) You would see the semolina absorb all the water being cooked... Keep stirring in order to allow the mango pulp to blend well with the mixture...

6) Once done add in sugar & a lil cardamom Powder & mix well again....

7) During this process add in about 1 tbsp ghee as the sugar melts... Very important... else the ksheera turns out very dry... mine did cuz the mango was very fibrous & due to the lesser amount of ghee, the texture turned dry later...

8) Give it a good stir again & you would know the ksheera is ready to be consumed!

It was a day after that & my previous cook who does not work at my place anymore but visits to check on me now & then, made a visit & I served her a bowl of mango ksheera & she was all praises for me.... It means a lot to me cuz she is a professional who cooks many dishes for others & when she appreciates it means I have been able to cook well... 😍

Do give it a try & enjoy!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
