Mango Sheera is soft and smooth pudding like sweet delicacy made with mango pulp and semolina. Here I am sharing two kind of recipes, one is using sugar andd the other with jaggery. Earlier, I used to make with sugar. Presently we are using a little bit more of jaggery, so I have made with jaggery now.

The importance of kesari in Indian cuisine:

Rava Kesari is one of the sweets commonly prepared in Indian tradition. Any good occassion, starts with a Satyanarauyan pooja and it is the the kesari which is prepared with banana in it. You have sudden guests at home and the only thing thats pops up in our mind is a good rava kesari. Upma and Kesari is the combination found in most restaurants.
