    Wow, Mango is the king of all fruits, especially SINDHRI Mango (Mango of My region) is famous around the world due to its test. We always use mango in raita before it ripe. Your recipe looks good.

    Ooh, I’ve never heard of raita before, but it sounds incredible. I wish we could get pomegranates easily because that would be such a nice topping. Next time I go to the store I’m going to buy the last mangos of the season just to make this.
