Mango Burfi is a delicious blend of mango in the traditional Rava Kesari recipe. The Mango Rava Kesari is loaded with flavor of mango and has a beautiful color. This is one of the simplest dessert to make for festivals.
Mango Burfi is an excellent dessert that can be made in about 30 minutes. Mango Rava Kesari is very easy and can be made with limited ingredients. I generally make kesaris when I have an urge for a sweet or dessert and this can be a good change to traditional kesaris.
This Mango Burfi recipe has been in my recipe book for over two years and I had not made it even once. This week, I opened up a can of mango pulp for smoothie and I had some left over from that. I was looking for something to do with it and that’s when this recipe caught my eye and I decided to make it.
The burfies came out really well. It was kind of variation of Rava Kesari, except for a good flavor of Mango and deep richness from mava and milk. The recipe is from one of the Indian magazines (I don’t remember the name of it, been too long). Do try it and pass on your comments.
