Mango Kesaribath

People who are Mango freaks have one more reason to celebrate the unbeatable favor of this fruit. Mango Kesaribath apart from being finger licking delicacy can be eaten as morning breakfast or as a dessert or as prasadam / naivedam. This recipe is just like regular Kesaribath except the part that it has ripen mangoes in it to bring out a complete superior grand taste. Try it, you will love it.

Ingredients
One cup Ripen Mangoes (cut into cubes, without the skin)
¾ Sooji rava
One ¼ cup sugar Few Kesar Few cashew, pistachio, and dried grapes
Pinch Cardamom powder
Ghee


Method:
In a nonstick pan, roast cashew, pistachio and dried grapes using one spoon of ghee. Once roast, keep it aside. In the same pan roast sooji rava using one spoon of ghee. Once the rava is hot and turned to light brown, keep is aside too. In the same pan add 3 cups of water. Bring it to a boil and add cut ripen mangoes and stir for one 30 seconds. Add roasted rave to the boiling water, add few kesar and sugar and allow it to cook. Close the lid of the pan and simmer the heat. After 5 minutes add ghee to make sure the rava doesn’t stick to pan. Add cardamom powder and all the roasted nuts. Give it a good stir. Mango Kesaribath is ready to eat.

Mango Cake

Here is my recipe for a simple yet delicious mango cake.

Ingredients:

1 cup of Semolina/Rava/Sooji ( I used the fine variety)
1 cup Mango pulp ( I used ready made Kesar Mango pulp for this/ even fresh mango pulp should be fine)
1/2 cup Butter (melted)
1/2 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking powder
½ tsp elachi powder

¼ cup chopped walnuts, raisins(optional)



Method:

There is no need to roast the rava/sooji.


Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the Sooji(Rava) with sugar, cardamom, nuts(optional) and baking powder.
Next add melted butter and mix well. Finally add the mango pulp and mix again. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Be careful and keep a close watch after 20 minutes.
Check with a fork to see if properly baked. If the knife comes out clean then remove immediately. If it is kept for a longer time, the cake becomes hard.
Allow to cool completely and then cut and serve.
