Mango Halwa - Luscious treat to Mango lovers

I love mangoes and guess most of us have a fetish for mangoes. This season I tried a new variant of Halwa with a twist named Mango. I have tried my hands on besan halwa, common carrot halwa, beetroot halwa, flour halwa, lauki halwa but this one is a real yummmm.
Its very simple, easy to make and luscious to the palate.

Ingredients required:
1. Roasted Suji - 1 cup
2. Sweet Mango - 1, finely chopped
3. Sugar - as per taste
4. Ghee - 1/4 cup
5. Dry Fruits (of your choice) - 1/4 cup
6. Cinnamon- 1/2 inch
7. Bay leaf- 2
8. Cardamom- 2
9. Clove -2
10. Warm Water- 2 cup (keep adding as per requirement)

Simple procedure:

In a pan heat ghee and add garam masala, fry for 30 sec, add 2 cups water, chopped mangoes and sugar to taste. After 5 mins of boiling add the roasted Suji gradually so that there are no lump formation along with the dry fruits. Cover the lid and keep the gas heat to low flame. Stir in between so that the halwa doesn't get burnt.
Remove once water is absorbed and serve hot. This dessert is not very high on calories but a tasty mango treat to the lovers of the king of fruits.
