MANGO HALWA

Everyone loves mangoes. I remember as a kid when I visited my native in summers there was this huge mango tree at my cousins place laden with juicy mangoes. We made a small hole in the ripe mango and sucked it till every bit of juice came out. The mangoes used to be so juicy that itd would drip on our hands and clothes but it was so much fun and we relished every bit of it.

We bought some delicious mangoes last week and I used a few to make this halwa. I made this with chiroti rava and the halwa had the strong flavour of the mangoes. It was good and I finished most of it myself.

Mangoes are rich in vitamin A & C and are also a great nourisher for the body.

Ingredients
1 cup mango pulp
½ cup chiroti rava
¼ cup sugar.
2 tbsp ghee
1 tbsp cardamom pwd
1 cup water
Raisins for garnish

Method
In a pan add 1 cup water and ¼ cup sugar and bring to boil. When the sugar melts add the chiroti rava and the mango pulp and keep stirring for 5 minutes on medium heat till the mixture begins to nicely boil. Add a tbsp of ghee and the cardamom pwd and stir for about 10 mints till the halwa thickens and begins to leave the sides of the pan. Garnish with raisins. Transfer the halwa into a plate greased with a tbsp of ghee and cut into shapes when cool.

The halwa can be eaten warm or cold. I refrigerated it and enjoyed eating it cold.
For the halwa choose mangoes which are very ripe and juicy.
