Looking to get hold of some of the king of mangos but can’t find them anywhere. Does an Indian supermarket or somewhere stock them? Not interested in any other varieties Cheers!
Has anyone had any success in getting the real deal ? If yes, where ? Not interested in the fake tasteless ones sold in grocery stores
Thanks !
I was wondering if there are any nurseries in the LA area that carry any of these plants. I tried Champa nursery for the Alphonso mango but they have already sold out for the season.
Who doesn't like mangoes and ice-cream? And what if you get these two together then its a heavenly combination.
Here's a really simple and easy to make mango ice cream recipe (actually my mom's recipe). I have used Alphonso mangoes here but you can use any sweet and ripe mangoes of your choice and their availability.
Ingredients:
- 2 large-sized Alphonso mangoes chopped (Use 2 medium-sized bowls of Mango pulp if Alphonso mangoes are not available)
- 1 medium-sized bowl of fresh cream (250 ml)
- Half cup of condensed milk (125 ml)
- Yellow food colour (optional)
- 8-10 saffron twigs (Garnish)
- Crushed almonds and pistachios (Garnish)
Serves:
5 Servings
Preparation time:
30 Minutes
Procedure:
Step 1: De-peel and chop 2 large-sized Alphonso mangoes into small block-shaped pieces. Put the mango pieces into a blender jar and blend it till the soft mango pieces turn into a thick, lustrous mango pulp.
( You can skip this step if you are using Mango Pulp)
Step 2: Pour 250 ml of fresh cream into the chilled glass bowl.
Whisk the fresh cream with a hand blender. Whisk the white fresh cream until it grows soft. It normally takes 2 to 3 minutes at minimum blending speed.
Step 3: When the fresh cream is soft and ready, pour into it half cup of condensed milk. The measurement is around 125 ml.
Mix the fresh cream and condensed milk well. The blend again for around 2 minutes.
Step 4: Pour the sweet mango pulp into the cream-milk mix. If you want to give the ice cream an exotic look you can add yellow food colour. However, it's completely optional.
After this, mix the whole mixture well for at least 3 to 4 minutes till it forms a soft, yellow, thick paste.
Step 5: I usually like to add fine pieces of Alphonso mangoes and finely crushed pieces of almonds or pistachios to my ice-cream.
It not only gives a nice vibrant look to the ice-cream and but also an excellent crunchy bite to the ice-cream
Whichever ingredients you prefer just add those to the mixture and give it a good stir.
Step 6: Lastly, take an air-tight glass container. Pour the whole mango ice-cream mixture into this container. Settle it smoothly with a big spoon so that it takes proper shape.
You may gently tap the container to remove any air bubbles and making sure the mixture fills the container evenly.
Now close the container lid and let it chill in the deep freezer for 8 hours.
Step 7: After 8 hours, t

anybody know if you can buy them in Vancouver?
Hello people,
Any idea where I can find Alphonso? I tried MK retail and Ratandeep in Indiranagar. No luck. Any leads would be great. Thanks!
I live in the US, but find American, Mexican and Central American mangoes just... fine. Last mango season, I ordered a case of Alphonso and Kesar mangoes from India. Yes, it's a hell of a lot more expensive but it was so worth it. I hadn't tasted Indian mangoes since I was a kid and they were out of this world wonderful -- so rich and custardy in flavor, so smooth and so juicy. I was surprised to find I actually liked the Kesar slightly more than the Alphonso. So, the importer (Mangozz) sells a huge variety. The exact availability will vary depending upon the crops, how quickly USDA approves receipt of shipments, their growing seasons and of course global supply chain. They list all of these varieties. It's a bit overwhelming. I want to choose one or two other varieties this year. Any thoughts on which ones would be best to try next?
