Top 5 ways of eating a mango

Its mango season and what better way to usher it in than to describe the 5 top ways of enjoying mangoes

5. Khariya:

Seems like a merchant-bawa specialty considering that I haven’t really seen this preparation anywhere else. A simple dish made by chopping mango fine and mixing with mix and sugar and chilling. A few friends lucky enough to have it at my place can vouch on my mom’s preparation of the same. Khariya is a dish in itself. Many a lunch, self and suki have had just Khariya with Roti. Works well with almost all mangoes

4. Ghod ke/Chus ke:

Take a mango, squeeze it till the pulp inside has turned to juice, bite of the top and suck it up. Works best with Pairi, Dussheri, Chausa and alphonso

3. Aamras

The most famous option, available even in canteens and in thaalis. Works best when made with any good mango and not artificial pulp, and of course, with oily deep-fried puris.

2. With “Natural’s” malai ice cream

Option 1: go to Natural’s, order mango with cream, eat to your heart’s content. Go home and then yearn some more.

Option 2: Go to Natural’s, take a family pack of their malai ice cream back. Chop mangoes and put dollops of malai ice cream on it. Eat to your heart’s content and then some more, after a while. Works best with Alphonso

1. With your bare hands and teeth

Nothing else comes close. Take a mango in hand, peel the skin off with your teeth, and eat it up. The messier it looks, the more fun it is. Works best with Alphonso and Kesar
