- ½ cup sugar or as required
- 2 tablespoons ghee or oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons nuts - chopped, cashews, charoli (chironji) as required
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 pinch saffron
- 3 to 4 green cardamoms or ½ teaspoon cardamom powder

Instructions

- Add this hot water gently to the rava and nuts mixture. Stir and mix very well.
- Add milk and sugar. Continue to stir and mix. Milk can be at room temperature or hot.
- The semolina granules absorbs both water and milk and will swell.
- You have to stir continuously so that the mixture does not stick at the bottom of the pan.
- After 1 or 2 minutes, add the mango pulp.
- Stir and mix again well and ensure that the mango pulp is mixed thoroughly.
- Add cardamom powder and saffron.
- Continue to stir until the liquids and moisture reduce.
- Cover with a lid and cook mango halwa for 1 or 2 minutes more until you see that all the liquids have been absorbed and the halwa looks slightly glossy or shiny with the ghee releasing from it.
- Garnish Mango Malwa with extra cashews or pomergranate arils.
- Serve the the Mango halwa hot, warm or even cold.
Notes
- Use fine textured rava or sooji. It gives better texture and consistency.
- Feel free to use any pulpy and fleshy varieties of mangoes instead of alphonso mango.
- The color of the halwa will vary with the kind of mangoes used.
- Sugar can be adjusted according to the sweetness of the mangoes and according to your taste preferences.
