Ditch the usual sweet creations this mango season and opt instead for summer savouries that celebrate the king of fruits

Mango wood smoked chicken
'Tis the mango season, and foodies are going all out to incorporate this king of fruits in cheesecakes, yoghurt and cocktails. If sweets are not your thing, don't worry, restaurants have a plethora of savoury mango dishes, too. Here are The Guide's five must-try picks from around the city.
Seared and smoked
This Khar eatery's latest offering is a whole chicken seared over a charcoal tawa and slow-cooked over mango wood in a smoker. It is served with a raw mango salad and chutney that balances out the flavours. "I wanted to introduce a dish with mango that isn't a dessert and decided what better way to do it than to use mango wood to cook it in, considering I use only charcoal and wood fire in the kitchen here," explains chef Amninder Sandhu.
