We Indians are rather partial to Mangoes, are we not? For us that is the king of fruits and why not. We have so many varieties that are grown and exported too. However, among all these there is a variety that beats even other mangoes and by a long shot. That is the Alphonso. Its smooth texture makes for a delicious bite filled with juicy goodness.
When Alphonso or Hapus as we call it in Maharashtra is in season, we make a variety of dishes with it. But, nothing beats the sweet mango lassi. This is my recipe
