Mangoes are known as the kings of fruits. The scent of ripe mangoes lifts the atmosphere and stimulates the hunger. Shakes, chutneys, aam panna, cakes, salads, smoothies, ice creams, kheer and more can be made using this versatile fruit.
Aam Panna and mango shakes can chill the body and treat heat stroke, respectively. Many people like to eat pooris with sweet, tempting Aam ras, while others prepare a variety of pastries with the king of fruits.
