Ingredients:

• Sooji/Rava - 1/2 cup
• Sugar- 1/2 cup
• 1 medium ripen Mango
• Whole Milk - 3/4 cup
• Water - 3/4 cup
• Few Saffron strands
• Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
• 6 - 8 Almond sliced
•  8 -10 Raisins 
• Ghee 3 - 4 tbsp

Method:

• Cut mango into pieces, keep aside few cubes for garnishing the sheera later. Grind the remaining to a smooth puree and keep it aside.It should yield 1/2 cup approximately.
• Warm 1 tbsp of milk and add saffron(crush the saffron slightly before adding) to it and keep it aside for 10 mins.
• Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a kadai/pan and add sliced almonds and fry until they turn light brown in color, remove and keep aside. 
• In the same pan add raisins and fry them until they bulge up, remove and keep them aside.
• Now in the same pan add rava and fry until the rava becomes aromatic and very light brown in color. 
• Meanwhile boil water with sugar in another pan until the sugar dissolve.
• Add the boiling water to the roasted rava mixture by mixing it simultaneously and cover it and cook for 2-3 mins until the rava absorbs the water.
• Add the milk and mix again and cook for a minute. Rava would absorb all the liquid and becomes slightly dry now.
• Now add the ground mango puree to it and mix well and cook for a minute.
• Lastly add cardamom powder, saffron milk mixture, roasted sliced almonds and raisins, 2-3 tbsp ghee and mix well. 
• Cover it and let it cook for 2 mins Switch off the flame and cover it for 5 mins.
