Ingredients
  

  • ​Raw Mango: 3 Medium Sized
  • ​Water: ¼ + 1 Cup
  • ​Corn Flour: ¼ Cup Mixed with 2 tablespoons of water
  • ​Green Food Colour: 1 or 2 drops Optional
  • ​Ghee: ¼ Cup
  • ​Sugar: As required approx. 1 to 1 ½ cups depending on the tartness of the mangoes

Equipment

  • ​Blender / Mixer grinder
  • ​Strainer (Sieve)
  • ​Heavy-bottomed pan or Non-stick kadai
  • ​Spatula

Method
 

  1. ​Prepare Mango Puree: Peel and chop the medium-sized raw mangoes. Transfer them into a blender with a little water and blend into a smooth puree. Strain the mixture if necessary to ensure a smooth texture.
  2. ​Prepare Cornflour Slurry: In a small bowl, take ¼ cup of cornflour and mix it thoroughly with 2 tablespoons of water without any lumps.
  3. ​Combine Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed pan or non-stick kadai, combine the raw mango puree, sugar, remaining water (¼ + 1 cup), and the prepared cornflour slurry. Add 1 or 2 drops of green food colour if desired. Mix everything well while the flame is off.
  4. ​Thicken the Mixture: Place the pan on medium heat and stir continuously. As it cooks, the mixture will thicken and become translucent.
  5. ​Add Ghee: Gradually add ¼ cup of ghee in intervals while stirring continuously to prevent sticking and ensure a rich, glossy finish.
  6. ​Achieve Halwa Consistency: Continue cooking until the mixture completely leaves the sides of the pan and turns into a glossy, smooth halwa texture.
  7. ​Set and Serve: Transfer the hot raw mango halwa to a greased plate or tray, allow it to set, slice, and serve!

Notes
