Sweet mango raita recipe

Mango raita recipe – this raita recipe is on sweeter side, not the savory version. That’s the reason, you can have it as such as a dessert too.

I usually make savory mango raita which has mint, chilies and other usual raita spices. But recently, I came across to this recipe in 1000 Indian recipe cookbook. I gave it a try and we both loved it.

Honestly speaking, I would prefer this having alone as a dessert.

This mango raita or mango dessert whatever you call it is very very quick to make. It takes only 5 minute. Just mix all the ingredients and serve. It is that simple.

This recipe requires only 5 ingredients. All of them will be available in your pantry. The main being yogurt and mango.

• Always use chilled and plain (not sour) yogurt. It tastes best when served chilled.
• Ripe, sweet mango pieces tastes best in this mango raita recipe.
• Other than these, honey is used to make it sweet. Instead you can use sugar too.
• Also I have used slivered almonds. You can skip this as well.
• And saffron flavor complements well with mango and sweet yogurt.

Mango is our favorite fruit during the summer season. That’s why you will find many mango recipes here on the blog,
e.g. aamras
mango mousse
mango cheesecake
and many more.
