Method
- Peel the skin off the mangoes and chop the pulp into very tiny pieces;
- You could even mash the pulp coarsely with your hands;
- Add sugar, elaichi, mix well and keep aside.
- Heat ghee in a small pan and add the nuts and raisins.
- Roast them for a minute and add to the mango mixture.
- Grind the soaked cashews to a smooth paste with some milk and add to the mango mixture;
- Cashews give thickness and richness to the rasaaina.
- Just before serving, add the milk and mix well;
- Make sure NOT to add milk much ahead of time...
- The milk would curdle if the mangoes are very sour.
- Pour into individual bowls and serve with pooris/chapatis or as a dessert.
Variation:
- You could even add coconut milk instead of ordinary milk.
- This gives it a completely different flavor and taste.
