OMG! It came out so well. I followed the steps verbatim as you had said & the halwa is so irresistable. My sister in law got me real pulpy and juicy mangoes from subji mandi here in NJ. I used just one big mango with same quantity of other ingredients as you said. I have a sweet surprise for my husband this evening when he gets back home. He loves kesari so much & now he will be overwhelmed. Thanks for your recipe. Continue your great work. Hi Indira ji,

I really admire your creativity and cooking talent. This blogsite is just amazing. Would like to try this recipe. Can the halwa be made with the mango pulp availble from the grocery stores here? If so, kindly let me know the measurement for the same. Thanks again. <li>Hi Dhanya, Thanks for the good words. About the halwa, yes it could be made with using mango pulp in tin cans. But because of liquidy nature and less fibre, it would take longer cooking time to solidify. Follow the recipe, but adjust the sugar quantities to your taste. If you try this recipe, I would love to hear about how it turned out. Do share. Thanks. -Indira</li> Hi Indira….

Would like to try this recipe. Can the halwa be made with the mango pulp availble from the grocery stores here? If so, kindly let me know the measurement for the same.

Thanks again.

The recipes that went with the pictures did not correspond to the images. There isn't much by way of Indian recipes on that site. A couple of recipes I saw had been reproduced with the permission of the blogger. I find hubpages rather unethical as a hubber's fans and visitors are encouraged to click on the ads on the pages to earn money for the hubber, even though the developers of the software insist that most of the traffic comes from the search engines. This is what I found out by reading the forums. The hubbers look up high paying adsense keywords and 'write' articles so that they earn about $1 a click or more. To me, this is as bad as splogs. So no, it's not just about food. <i>Oh, I just noticed Smitha's comment. It's really unfortunate how they take advantage of people's goodwill. This is the first time I have come across this new type of scamming. I am sure same with our fellow food bloggers. Please write about this at DH, Manisha. Thanks in advance.
