Mango Tango Custard

Its all about patriotism in this week  and how can you forget Mango which is so much about India.Mango is the national fruit of IndiaMore than a third of the world's mangoes are cultivated in India ,and India is the largest producer of mangoes.Simply Wow isn't it..

Alphonso, Benishaan  and Kesar mango varieties are considered among the best mangoes in India's southern states, while Chausa, Dasheri ,Langra and Safeda varieties are most popular in the northern states.
I  still remember those days when  we used to go to our Grandpa's garden  full of lush green Mango trees where we used to pluck the mangoes and eat those raw mangoes with salt..oohh lala..and we used to get so many mangoes at home that Mom kept making pickles(Aam ka achaar) and chutneys out of the raw mangoes which she still does but  i can't bring them here ..:(  Luckily this summers i was there in India and ate lot of Mangoes and a lot of  maa ke haath ka khana.(Mom made food) which is the best in the world,hmmm thinking about it makes me nostalgic.
But here in US its all about Mangoes from Mexico.So you keep trying a lot many different varieties till you get the best taste and the most ripe mangoes  from produce or Indian store or you have to wrap them in a paper as my Mom used to do and keep them out for some time so they turn up nice n ripe.
