Mango Pudding

 

In India, ‘mango mania’ sweeps through the whole  country during this time of the year. There are so many different varieties to choose from, each one with its own colour and character that makes each of them  special and sought after. 

In London we have a limited choice, but we do get the best sweet Alphonso mangoes flown in directly from India.  During  the season, I make religious weekly visits to the Indian green grocers, aiming to get a box full of sweet and fragrant ripe mangoes.

Just peel, cut and puree the soft ripe mangos  in a blender  and  then  pass it through a sieve  to get a uniform puree  before mixing with other ingredients. The  flavour of this  pudding solely depends on the mangoes you use so make sure they are the best ones you can afford and are fully ripe …
