• Description: Mango Halwa recipe with step by step pictures, an easy and quick mango dessert made using mango puree corn flour and sugar as the main ingredients.

    Mango puree  1 cup
    Corn flour   1/4 cup
    Sugar  1/2 cup
    Water  1/4 cup
    Cardamom powder  a pinch (optional)
    Almonds   few (sliced)
    Ghee  2 tblsp
    Oil  3 tsp

Method :

• Take the mango puree from 2 small alphonso mangoes.
• In a wide bowl add the corn flour and add the water.
• Mix well without any lumps. 
• Add the mango puree and sugar to this.
• Mix well without lumps.
• In a heavy bottomed pan add 1 tblsp ghee.
• Add the mango mixture to this.
• Mix well.
• Cook in medium low flame for 10 -15 minutes, stirring continuously. 
• Meanwhile slice the almonds and keep it aside.
• Once the corn flour gets cooked the mixture will become glossy and slowly starts leaving the pan.
• Add the remaining 1 tblsp ghee in regular intervals.
• Add the sliced almonds and mix well.
• If adding cardamom powder add this now. I didn't add as i want the mango flavour to be more dominant. 
• Take a small portion of the halwa, cool it and roll it. 
• If it rolls like a ball then it is the right consistency to switch off. 
• If it is sticky then cook for 3-4 minutes more.
• Add the oil in the last stage and switch off the flame. 
• Spread this in a greased tray. 
• Allow this to cool for 2-3 hours.
• I kept in the refrigerator after 30 minutes.
• Cut them into pieces. 
• Mango halwa is ready. 

Notes:

1. Use sweet ripe mangoes for making Mango halwa. 
2. You can add ghee roasted cashew nuts also instead of almonds.
3. Mango halwa stays good for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
