Notes | FAQ
- Do adjust the quantity of sugar as per taste preference and sweetness of the mango.- You can use Mango puree from a can for this recipe. However, if you want to make it fresh, just like I did.

- Use of heavy bottomed or non stick pan is a must for this recipe, to avoid burnt bottom.- Do not add the mango puree to the milk mixture while it is hot. The milk will curdle.
