Every year, Mango Day is celebrated on July 22, in honour of this globally adored fruit. It's the season where you can stroll through the bustling markets, where plenty of plump, juicy, and perfectly ripe mangoes await your taste buds. To savour the season and fill it with an enchanting fragrance, television artists from popular &TV share their most delightful mango recipes so that you.
Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai) shares, "We Indoris have a special love for Kairi (raw mango) and its pickles, and let me tell you, my mom makes the most amazing 'aam ka aachar' (mango pickle) ever. When I was a kid, I put that pickle on almost everything because it has this magical ability to make any dish taste delicious. I remember how my mom would take mango strips and mix them with salt. She let it sit for at least a day, draining the mango water. Then, she would combine the mango strips with asafetida, turmeric powder, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, chilli powder, and mustard oil. She would toss it all together, making sure the flavours were well-mingled. What makes my mom's pickle extra special is the mustard oil, which gives it that authentic Kairi flavour and aroma. It truly becomes the perfect aam ka Aachar."

Zaara Warsi (Chamchi from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan) shares, "Mango season is one of my favourites, but honestly, I can't wait for it because I crave mangoes all the time. I whip up this delightful mango milkshake using bottled mango pulp to satisfy my cravings. It's so delicious! The recipe is super simple and takes just five minutes to make. Here's what I do: I grab four to five spoons of mango pulp and add two spoons of sugar, milk, and some ice cubes to a blender. I blend it all together until it's smooth and frothy. And if I'm feeling extra fancy, I throw in a few scoops of vanilla ice cream and sprinkle some dried fruits on top as a tasty garnish. I call this recipe the Mango Milkshake Delight and let me tell you, everyone in my family and even on set loves it. This shake's smooth texture and refreshing chill make it an absolute treat for everyone. It's like happiness in a glass!"
