Who doesn’t love mangoes? In India, it is known as King of Fruits. Mango season starts from the approx end of March to end of May month (warmer months). In India, many different varieties are available. My favorites are Alphonso (aka Hapus) and Kesar. Other varieties I like are badam, rasgola, totapuri. And rajapuri mangoes are used in making pickles and chunda. While here in the USA, we mostly get Mexican fruit and I prefer Ataulfo (champagne) mangoes. Other varieties are too fibrous and I do not like those to eat as such or use in the recipes. As I have said many times while making mango recipes, Always use non-fibrous, ripe mangoes. When we buy the mangoes from the market, they are unripe and tastes sour. So we need to keep them on the counter-top and let them ripe. Don’t decide by the color of the mango. Red or yellow looking skin is not always ripe. Check the ripeness by its strong fruity, sweet smell and gently squeeze by giving little pressure, it should feel soft yet firm (Not too soft). Once ripen, store in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 days otherwise they will get overripe. Below is the list of 32 Mango recipes. All recipes have step by step photo instructions.
