MANGO KADHI

Mango kadhi is made with the ripe mango and curd.  It  is a very easy, simple and instant preparation if you have mango pulp in your freezer.  If not also, it is not a big issue to make it as one mango is sufficient enough to make kadhi for two servings.

You need ripe mango for this and goes well with the rice.  If the consistency is bit saucy, then you can serve it with chapati and phulka too.
