33 delicious mango recipes for mango lovers

Am I the only one who wishes mango season was all year? If you are a mango lover like me then you will love this collection of recipes for ripe mangoes!

Whether you are looking for a healthy breakfast smoothie, delicious fresh snacks, or baking a dessert there is a recipe for you in this collection!

The king of fruits – mangoes are in season again. In India, The mango period lasts from mid-march to may end.

Although one can easily get mangoes in the market in the month of June and July and even in august. But many people avoid eating mangoes once rains start pouring because they get spoiled easily. So you have to quickly eat as many mangoes as possible in these two months time !!!

There are many varieties of mangoes available in India Like kesar, badami, dasheri, langda, safeda, totapuri, chausa, neelam, alphonso (hapus) etc. Everyone has their own favorite variety of mango.

Our favorite is alphonso mangoes which are also called as hapus locally. They are the most juicy, delicious and also the most expensive. Mostly they are exported. They are grown in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Konkan belt.

While making any sweet based dish or a beverage with mango, use mangoes that are not fibrous and are sweet. Avoid making drinks, desserts or sweets with half-ripe mangoes or even slightly sweet mangoes as these can cause stomach upsets.

In this post, I am listing mango recipes from my blog which are made from ripe mangoes or sweet mangoes.

However, if you want to make recipes with raw unripe mangoes then check this collection of 16 raw mango recipes.

If you do not have fresh sweet mangoes available in your city, then you can even use packaged mango pulp. Most of the recipes mentioned in the below collection list use mango pulp. I always blend the mangoes and make the mango pulp, but you can use readymade store brought mango pulp also.

1 medium sized mango will yield about ¾ cup mango pulp. So if a recipe calls for 2 medium sized mangoes, then substitute with 1.5 cups mango pulp.

One can make endless dishes using raw or ripe mangoes. The famous mango recipes made with ripe mangoes are: aamras, mango lassi, amrakhand, mango ice cream and mango kulfi. So lets start with the post which has been divided in 2 parts:
