Mango Mastani

Ingredients- 3x

• 9 large mangoes or 700 to 750 grams alphonso mangoes or kesar mangoes or 3 to 3.5 cups chopped mangoes or 3 to 3.5 cups thick mango puree or pulp
• 4.5 cups full cream chilled milk or 375 ml
• 6 to 9 tablespoon sugar or add as required
• 18 to 21 pistachios sliced or chopped
• 18 to 21 cashews sliced or chopped
• 18 to 21 almonds - sliced or chopped
• 12 to 24 scoops of vanilla ice cream or mango ice cream
• 12 to 18 glazed cherries for decoration (optional)
• 12 to 18 ice cubes (optional)

How To Make Mango Mastani

1. Slice a few dry fruits like pistachios, almonds and cashews. Keep them aside with 4 to 5 glazed cherries.

2. Peel, chop 3 large mangoes and add them to the blender or mixer jar. Instead of fresh mangoes, you can also use mango pulp or puree. About 3 to 3.5 cups of mango pulp or puree can be used. Later, just add milk accordingly, based on the consistency of the pulp or puree.

3. Reserve 2 to 3 tbsp of chopped mangoes aside for topping the mastani drink later.

4. Add 2 to 3 tbsp sugar in the blender jar.

5. Add 1.5 cups full cream milk.

6. Blend to a smooth thick milkshake. Taste and if the sugar is less, then you can add more. If the mangoes are very sweet, you can completely skip the sugar. Since both the mangoes and milk were chilled, I did not add any ice cubes. You can add some ice cubes too while blending.
