    Mango Sheera Recipe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids

    Sooji Mango halwa/Mango Rava Kesari/mango kesari - tasty dessert made with sooji/rava/cream of wheat and mangoes for toddlers, kids and for the whole family. Mangoes are perfect for making desserts as it has a sweet taste and natural yellow color. We make plain rava/sooji kesari often. But last time I have tried the usual sooji/rava kesari with a healthy twist by adding jaggery and mango to it:) It turned out super good and the taste is no less than halwa/kesari made of sugar ones:)

    Its ideal for babies after one year, if you want to try this mango sheera for babies less than a year, skip sweetener and make it with less ghee than mentioned. Now Let's check how to make this sooji mango halwa recipe for toddlers and kids.

    Notes :
    • Adding saffron gives a nice yellow colour to the halwa.
    • Adjust jaggery amount as per the sweetness of mango.
    • You can replace jaggery with same amount of sugar.
    • You could use broken wheat rava instead of sooji.
    • When selecting mangoes, choose sweet tasting variety.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
    • Don't prefer whole nuts for small babies, instead add powdered nuts.
