NOTES

1. Authentic kesari recipes ask for equal quantity of rava + sugar + ghee. I have added less ghee.
2. Use sweet mangoes without fibres. If the mangoes have fibre then please strain the pulp and discard the fibres.
3. Sometimes the mango may not have the the flavour /essence [smell ] of it ,in that case add few drops of mango essence.
4. Use sweet mango else the sheera will be sour / tangy in taste .
5. You can add few strands of saffron .
6. You can also use store bought mango pulp .
7. You can also add few small pieces of mango.
