Mango Kheer...


Come Summers.. and all we want.. desire.. hog are MANGOES.. I can live on them... just love them..


Haven't cooked with mango much this season.. but out of watever lil I did.. wanna share the MANGO KHEER recipe.. it was delicious and refreshing...


Ingredients
Milk - 1/2 lt
Condensed Milk - 1/3rd of a can (approx 125 gms)
Mango Pulp - from 2 Mangoes (pref Alphanso)

Cooking
1. In a heavy-bottom pan, put the milk for boiling on a high flame. As the milk starts to boil, lower the flame & let it cook for a while till the milk thickens. This can take around 20-25 minutes.

2. Next, add Condensed Milk & stir well. Let the mixture cook. Once thickened, remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. (cooling might further thicken the mixture, hence keep that in mind while you cook the mixture)

3. While the mixture cools, pulp 2 mangoes - I pulped the mangoes with hands - did not use a blender so that the pulp has a inconsistent texture.

4. Once the mixture cools to room temperature, add the Mango Pulp to it and mix well. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

Serve Cold  - Garnish with Mango pieces or chopped almonds...

yummmm ;)
