Mango Mastani

IMAGERY:

Every one would go crazy on hearing the word mangoes. There are a numerous recipes which can be made out of mangoes, either raw or ripe ones. Into the season of mangoes here, in South India, we always have them in pieces or as a juice. I wanted to explore much more recipes out of mangoes and here comes the first one of all.

When I heard that my bestie is leaving for Pune, I wished that I could prepare something of Pune origin and there came the Mango Mastani. A freshly rustled sumptuous glass of Mango Mastani, is Pune's very own creation. It is a thick creamy mango shake topped with dry fruits/cut mango pieces/apple pieces. It is believed that this is name from the legend of the famous Peshwa ruler Bajirao and his lover,  Mastani. So I decided to give her a send off with Mango Mastani. The creamy taste of this drink makes it special than the regular shakes. Lets jump in to the making of Mastani.
