i make mango raita often as it is quick and easy to make. it does not take more than 10 minutes to whip up this lovely sweet dessert of mango raita.
all you need are some sweet mangoes and some chilled yogurt. adding sugar to the raita is your choice. i prefer a little sweet raita, so i add sugar. cardamom and saffron enhance the flavors of this mango raita but are completely optional. the raita taste excellent with just plain mangoes and yogurt.
if possible use thick yogurt or homemade yogurt. i already have one more mango raita recipe which is on the blog. this one was posted a few years ago and i still make it. in this raita tempering is done and the tempering add a lot of punch and flavor to the raita. have a look at the ancient mango raita recipe here.
vegans can easily make the mango raita with a vegan yogurt substitute like cashew yogurt or coconut milk yogurt.

A question: Have you ever tried making cashew yogurt? Do we make it the same way we make the regular yogurt? Thanks a lot:)
i tried once making cashew yogurt with the chili crowns on top of it. we do not get any vegan starters in india. the result was a horrible smelling cashew yogurt which i had to throw away. after that i never ever tried. but i will making one with milk yogurt as the starter. its exactly the way milk yogurt is made. i will also update on the blog once i make my a few vegan yogurts.
So simple but I am sure it tastes great!
