Back with one more dish using a seasonal fruit .. this time its from the King of fruits,the luscious Mangoes.Markets have already filled with various breeds of mangoes.Apart from enjoying the tangy raw mangoes and the juicy ripe mangoes, there are variety of dishes one can prepare out of it. I know coz of kids vacations, i am lagging with these posts .Today i’ll share with you all the most popular and most easiest Karnataka specialty dish ” Mango Rasayana / Mavina hannina Seekarne / Mango Shrikaran ” made by using ripe pulpy mangoes. Serve it as an accompaniment with chapathi/ poori / neer dosa or savor a cup of it as such like a dessert …
I feel probably Mango Rasayana is probably a close cousin of the famous Aamras & milkshake.What say ? Unlike aamras and milkshake, the texture of rasayana is not fully smooth and is smashed with hands. Few add milk to it but I love the ones with coconut milk.With very few ingredients , it hardly takes a couple of minutes to put rasayana together. And the end result is hmmm… yumm !!! Though i prepare this dish many a times in the mango season , writing this post.. i’m badly craving for it ” Yeh Dil Mange More …” …such is its addiction. I’ve already shared before ” Banana Rasyana ” , today its time for the ones with Mango….
Check Out the Video recipe here :

- If you cannot squeeze the pulp out with hands, cut the mangoes into pieces and pulse them in a blender taking care not to mash it up completely.
- You can replace mango with ripe bananas or apple or musk melon.
- For a more quick version, you can replace coconut milk with normal milk
