Mango is India's National fruit . According to me it is the best fruit ever. Esp the Alphonso mango is very famous in India. Grown in the Konkan region in Maharashtra, India. It is known for its vibrant orange colour(as seen in the pic) and thick pulp. Since it is a seasonal fruit and can be enjoyed only during April to June months, there are many ways people try to preserve it and enjoy its flavour the whole year through. The pulp can also be stored for upto a year in the deep freezer.
The Amba(Mango) and Wadi (Candy) is one such sweet which can let you enjoy the mango long after its season is over. This recipe was shared to me by my husband's aunt and couldn't wait to try it out. It is relatively simple and uses minimal ingredients.. Hope you guys enjoy making it as much as I did..
