Prepare the Mango Pulp:
- Peel and remove the flesh from the ripe mangoes.
- Blend the mango flesh in a blender or food processor until you obtain a smooth pulp. Set it aside.
Prepare the Khoya:
- Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat and add the khoya/mawa.
- Cook the khoya, stirring continuously, until it melts and turns light golden in color. This process will take about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Mango Burfi Mixture:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee on medium heat.
- Add the mango pulp to the pan and cook for a few minutes, stirring continuously.
- Gradually add the sugar while stirring, allowing it to dissolve completely.
- Add the cooked khoya/mawa to the pan and mix well.
- Continue cooking the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. This may take approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Add the cardamom powder to the mixture and mix well.
- Grease a square or rectangular tray or plate with ghee.
- Pour the thickened mango burfi mixture onto the greased tray and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely and set for a few hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Cut and Serve:
- Once the mango burfi has been set, cut it into square or diamond-shaped pieces using a sharp knife.
- Serve the mango burfi as a delightful dessert.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
