“If summer had one defining scent, it would definitely the smell of mangoes”. The arrival of summers brings the most delicious and tempting fruit, which can be used in desserts, shakes and even chutneys. Mangoes are my favorite, What about you? I am sure all the ladies out there also wait the whole year for making that scrumptious “aam ka achar” and mango shake to celebrate the season. To be honest, everyone in my family is so fond of mangoes that they binge on this fruit, the whole summer to satisfy their taste buds. There is nothing more satisfying than gorging on a slice of juicy aam in the peak afternoon post-lunch.
Being passionate about cooking and baking since my childhood, I have tried many recipes with this magical fruit. And today, I am sharing some to fill your homes with sweetness this summer.
