Author Notes
Mangoes are the seasonal fruit. The flesh of mangoes are soft and it emits sweet frangrance. We can only enjoy mangoes in summer in India. There are hundreds of cultivated varieties have been introduced to other warm regions of the world. We can preserve raw and ripen mangoes and can have them for the whole year.
Raw mangoes can be preserved as pickles whereas Ripen ones can be preserved as jams and compotes. Some ripen mangoes will give a different taste other than its sweet nature. You can use any kind of ripen mangoes for this recipe. Adding the amount of sugar will change its amount of bitterness.
In this recipe we have used bananas as well. It is an unusual combination of mixing mangoes and bananas together but it will combinedly give a punch in our mouth.
Caramel will give a sweet and salty taste to the pudding.
