It is that time of the year when mangoes are available in abundance. While raw mangoes of different varieties have already started appearing in markets, it will not be long before the glorious yellow ripe fruit will be seen on the fruit vendors cart in the city. Now, many people love eating mangoes plain, there are others who add some chilli powder and salt that produces a burst of flavours that take us back to our childhood days spent with our grandmothers or simply buying it from the stall outside our schools, or classic mango juice or milkshake.

The diversity of the fruit allows many people to explore many dishes with the fruit. Interestingly, these aren’t sweet but also savoury. For the lack of time, people may opt to simply indulge in fruit salad with mangoes that add a sweet and sour flavour that tantalise our taste buds almost immediately. However, there are many other desserts that can be made with the fruit that will simply make your summer worthwhile, especially if you love mangoes.
