Mango lovers can’t be more excited as soon as the season arrives. Juicy, sweet, luscious and yummy, mango is the king of fruits and is loved across age groups. And the wide variety of mangoes makes it even better. From Alphonso, chaunsa, dasheri to langda, we are just grateful India is the leading producer of mangoes. How else were we going to sate our cravings for this pulpy fruit? Yes, it is only available in summers, and that is the only unfortunate part about mangoes. But besides eating it as is, did you know you can whip up some fantastic delicacies from mango too? If you are done whipping up a creamy mango shake and eating mango slices and wish to experiment a little, we’ve got your back!
