Eleven ways with mango from Siddhi’s kitchen, from raw mango aam panna and curry to ripe mango drinks and chilled desserts. Cook your way through them while mangoes are in season.
Raw mango goes into two of the recipes: the aam panna and a sweet and tangy raw mango curry. The rest use ripe mango, and Siddhi’s mango mousse calls for Alphonso.
Every recipe in this plan is cooked in Siddhi’s own kitchen before it goes live.
