Mango Mastani

Hello to all my readers.  Finally I am here after a long long break.  I was cooking as before but couldn't blog that frequent. Anyways, hoping to continue my passion and post more recipes.  So lets start cooking.

This week I tried something that was in my mind for last 3 months.  Its a delicious mango drink i.e. Mango Mastani.  I had tasted this drink for the first time three months back in Mumbai.  Its a famous drink from Pune.  You will find so many shops selling Mango Mastani in Maharashtra. Its just a mango shake topped with vanilla ice-cream and garnished with chopped mango and nuts.  Its a breeze to make this drink at home.  No special ingredients or equipments and no sweating in the kitchen for hours.  You just need to blend a few ingredients and a delicious drink, bursting with mango flavour, is ready to relish.  Here mango season is over, so I used ready-made mango pulp for this recipe.  Fresh mango will definitely give you more flavour.  Fresh mango or pulp, whatever you use, trust me, you cannot go wrong with this recipe.  

So lets make Mango Mastani.  Happy Cooking :)
