Mango Halwa is a tasty Indian sweet prepared with over ripe mangoes. Mambazha halwa can be prepared with fresh/ frozen/tin mangoes. Yummy halwa can be prepared within 20 minutes. It’s hard to stay away from mangoes during this time of the year. I can eat mangoes all day but having a sweet tooth, I couldn’t resist myself from trying out mango based sweets/dessert. Jagadish loves mangoes and he has special liking for halwa so I wanted to try Mango Halwa. Usually white sugar is used for making Halwa. I have used combination of jaggery and sugar. Halwa can be made with just jaggery/ sugar. Jaggery version I tried was brown color. Sugar version gave closer look for mangoes but I was confused which method to follow. Finally decided to add both.Brown sugar can also be used instead.
If you have some mangoes in your pantry, try this delicious mambazha halwa. Actually, Halwa tastes great with overripe mangoes. When I first tried this recipe I had few overripe mangoes and was thinking how to finish it. I pulsed it into mango pulp and prepared this tasty treat, instead of throwing overripe mangoes. This is one great way to finish it.

How to make Mambazha halwa with step by step pictures:
Add cardamom powder to the mango pieces and ground mango pulp without adding water
In a heavy bottomed pan, add ghee and saute raisins for 30 seconds
Add mango puree and keep stirring for 2-3 minutes
Mix well. Add sugar and jaggery; keep stirring
Add 1/2 tablespoon of ghee and Cook for 12-16 mins till it thickens and approaches halwa consistency
The key is to switch off before it reaches halwa consistency, as the halwa will thicken a bit after it is switched off. Garnish with cashews
