11 mango recipes to spice up your summer!
Every single soul born in India knows how much of a connection they have with the mango season. India is world’s largest producer of mangoes but only contributes to 1% of international trade — guess why? We eat all of it. We are also largest consumers of mangoes.
I remember as a kid we waited starting April for mangoes. So many different recipes and foods surround mangoes.

I compiled the best recipes on internet that should equip you this summer with best use of all types of mangoes. You are welcome. :)
