Eid Mubarak

May the magic of this holy festival bring unlimited happiness in your life and decorate it with the sweetness of heavenly desserts! Eid Mubarak! As Ramadan has come to an end,  Eid Al-Fitr is being celebrated across the world with a host of traditional sweet treats and I made Recipe for Mango Jelly. Food is a staple of the Eid celebration, as families and friends come together to relish a sumptuous and divinely prepared feast in each other’s company. This Mango Jelly looks amazing and tastes delicious when served with fresh fruit.

Summer and Mango Jelly

When the summer arrives and the hot sun flashes its heat all over, I go crazy on a midsummer night but my heart sings with joy when the aroma of sweet mangoes fills the air. Diet needs to be forgotten in summer when you have mangoes in your hands. Mango is one seasonal fruit Indians one can never give a miss. Come summer and people get so creative in the kitchen with the addition of mango in every dish. It can quench your thirst in the form of juice and it tingles your taste buds as a chutney.

National Fruit- Mango

The main reason Indians love mangoes is that it is our National fruit. Hence it is our right to enjoy it during the season, isn’t it? Indians love mangoes because it is one fruit that is ubiquitous at every nook and corner in the city. You may buy this yummy fruit at different prices but the taste is always priceless. Mangoes are the king of all fruits because they fight cancer, alkalize the body, aid in weight loss, clear your skin, to regulate diabetes, help digestion, and make the perfect snack. I use mango as a body scrub by making a paste of mashed mango, milk and sugar or honey. The skin feels more tender and smooth after a rejuvenating scrub.
