Mango Halwa
This is a slight twist on the halwa (sheera) traditionally served as prasadam in pujas. It is prepared using sooji and has a sweet taste. The ghee makes the halwa rich while mango pulp gives it a unique taste.

I have used homemade preserved mango pulp which doesn’t have sugar. If using store bought mango pulp adjust the sugar content accordingly.
