Mango season is in full swing and as usual, my house is filled with mangoes. Gujaratis are very fond of mangoes and start eating them as soon as the mangoes hit the market.

We, Gujjus, eat Keri no Ras or Aam Ras at least once a day and eat many mangos. We also love making Fajeto and mango shrikhand during summer.

Mangos are not just tasty but also good for health.

But most people avoid mango thinking that it will cause acne and being high in calories, they are fattening. People with diabetes also believe that mangoes are a complete no for them.

But celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has answered all your queries/myths about mango on her social media page.

She encouraged people to consume mangos during summer in her recent social media live video.

According to her, Mangoes are the seasonal storehouse of nutrients. It helps in the digestion and regulation of blood lipid levels. It can reduce the risk of heart diseases through various vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

She also mentioned that it’s good for diabetes and obesity. Rujuta stated that mangoes have Vitamin B, which helps in increasing the production of red blood cells in our body, helping in burning fats.

So enjoy this mango season! 🙂

Since mangos are everywhere, I thought it would be a perfect time to share one of my favorite dessert recipes, commonly made in Gujarati homes, Doodh Keri.

Doodh Kairi

In Gujarati,

• Doodh means milk
• Kairi means Mango

Doodh Keri means Luscious Mango cubes dunked in sweet creamy, vanilla custard flavored Milk.

In simple words, a simple thin vanilla custard where mango pulp as well as mango chunks both are used. It tastes delicious with a smooth and silky texture.

Ingredients required

Milk – I recommend using 2% or whole milk.

Mango - The king of fruit. This recipe requires Mango pieces as well as mango puree. I have used a Ripe Mexican mango - Ataulfo mango. But you can use any ripe mangos of your choice or availability.

Custard powder - Gives smooth texture and great flavors.

Sugar - we are using granulated sugar for the sweetness. You can use powdered sugar too. Use it according to the sweetness of your mango and your liking.

Step by step process

Firstly, take custard powder and ¼ cup milk in a small bowl. Mix well until custard is completely dissolved, set aside.

Now in a large Kadai or heavy bottom pan boil milk, stirring occasionally.

Once the milk comes to a boil, pour the custard milk stirring continuously. Stir for 2 minutes or until custard milk is well combined with milk.

Now add sugar and stir well. Cook on a medium flame for 10 minutes or until milk thickens and turns a bit creamy. Make sure to stir often in between.

Switch off the flame and let the mixture cool completely.

For mango puree – Take mango, peel the skin off, and cut them into big pieces. Take those pieces in a blender and blend until smooth. Don’t use water. Take the puree in strainer and strain. Keep it aside.

(Note – I pureed 4 mangoes. The size of every mango is different so puree accordingly. You will need 1 cup of mango puree in this recipe).

Once the milk is cooled, add mango pulp. Whisk well until custard milk and mango pulp is well combined.

Now add mango pieces. Mix, cover the bowl, and refrigerate at least for 2 hour.

Top it up with pistachio and almonds if you wish to. Enjoy chilled with puri or as is!

Note, pro-tips and quick FAQs

• Homemade mango puree and pieces from fresh ripe mangoes are the best because they give the most flavor. If your mangoes are stringy, strain the puree through a sieve.
• If fresh mangoes are not readily available where you are, you can use frozen or canned mango pulp and pieces. If using frozen mangoes, thaw the pieces. Also, thaw and drain before pureeing in a blender. If using canned mango pulp, reduce the sugar by half.
• You can also flavor this dessert up with cardamom powder and saffron to make it exotic.
• My family likes it without nuts. But you can add chopped nuts of your choice.
• Make sure you stir the milk continuously after adding custard powder mixture.
