Easy Mango Sheera

My son is back in Pune for his vacation and will be here for few more months to complete his Industrial training...My husband and daughter is having a good time enjoying new dishes...as  sometimes I get busy in the kitchen cooking a new dish and sometimes he is cooking the dishes that he learnt in college :).  I get to learn lot of new tips from him too...

During the weekend, I made Aloo Rasewala Shak with Roti & since I had loads of mangoes, decided to also make a sweet dish.  Hope you will not get bored with the mango dishes that I have been posting one after the other... I guess this is the only season that you can enjoy the King of Fruits!!

I thought of making Mango Kalakand with the mango pulp... but then dropped the idea and decided to make a quick Mango Sheera.  It tasted divine!  You can actually see that the pictures say it all :).

Sheera is a traditional sweet made in Maharashtra and served as Prasad and it would have slices of banana in it.  This Sheera has loads of Mango Puree and garnished with cut pieces of ripe mangoes!
