| Mango Mastani #Recipe |
I am a very big fan of mangoes. Despite that, I have hardly shared any mango based recipes in this space. Well, there is a reason.
Mangoes are something I really look forward to during the summer months in India. Every year, I think of ‘n’ number of mango recipes to try, but every year I end up enjoying the mango fruit as it is. Mangoes are so delicious in itself that I don’t really have the patience to make something out of it.
This year, I finally decided to share some mango recipes here and I am making a start today with my mango mastani recipe
I grew up in Assam gorging on the best Langda Mangoes. But, this variety of mangoes is not common in Pune. Here it is all about Alphonso or Haphus Mangoes – they are quite flavourful, luscious and sweet. But, still, my heart longs for the Langda Aam. We do them get here for a short while, and I do not miss the opportunity to get a bagful home – I guess they are transported here all the way from Bengal.
The mango mastani recipe I am sharing here is a Pune special drink. Soon after we had shifted to Pune some years back, I came across this drink named Mango Mastani and I thought – what a name! While there are no established facts about it but, it is said to be named after Peshwa Bajirao’s wife Mastani. I guess most of us who are into Bollywood movies know about her from the movie ‘Bajirao Mastani’.
Let's check out the recipe for mango mastani now.
Serves 1
1 ripe Alphonso mango, peeled, stoned and chopped into pieces
1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
200 ml chilled milk
1 scoop vanilla ice-cream (you can use mango ice-cream also)
Chopped nuts, fresh mango pieces and tutti fruity pieces for topping
Process:
1. In a blender jar, add the mango pieces, sugar and milk and blend it until smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste if needed.
2. In a tall glass, add the prepared thick mango shake. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, chopped nuts, fresh mango pieces and tutti fruity. Serve it immediately. Enjoy!
