Mango Festival in India: It’s that time of the season already when we hail the king of fruits. Mango lovers must be waiting for that time of the year when they get a chance to indulge in the variety of mangoes – Alphonso, Dashehri, Langra, Neelam, Safeda, Chausa, Totapuri to name a few. The mango brigade is back in town for the summer and this one fruit comes bearing a variegated set of food to satiate our food palette. Mixer grinders start to churn to make shakes or chutney, pickles are made and put in jars, refreshing drinks are pureed with mango, and some relish the raw flavours of mango.
