Mango is the ultimate delight to savour in the hot summer months. The best thing about mango is that it tastes wonderful in any form - whether it is had raw as whole fruit, as a delectable dessert or even as a refreshing drink. There's something about the fruit's juicy texture and overly sweet flavour that we just can't get enough of. If you're a mango-lover too, then this Mango Mastani recipe is the perfect drink for you to enjoy in the sweltering hot summer months!
Made with fresh mango pulp, creamy milk and vanilla ice cream - the Mango Mastani is a satisfying affair by itself. It is similar to a thick, pulpy and creamy mango milkshake, however, the main difference is that it is topped with vanilla ice cream, chopped dry fruits and some interesting spices. The Mango Mastani may seem familiar to a dessert, however, Pune people vehemently advise against calling it an ice-cream.
