Seekarane / Rasayana is one of the easiest, tastiest sweet in the world. As most of the dishes this Rasayana can also be prepared in many different ways. Major difference between north and south Karnataka is, the use of coconut. Adding the coconut milk enhances the taste of the seekarane.
Milk reduces the heating effect of Mango. Rasayana will be good with Rasapoori Mango, but any mango will be fine.
