Mango is one of the most versatile of fruits and can be added to a wide range of dishes from salads to desserts to main course. Before the mango season ends, I wanted to share another classic Indian dessert prepared with ripe mangoes. Today we will learn how to prepare mango phirni following our easy recipe.
How to make Mango Phirni
