Mango Raita 

This mango recipe is a must-try! Not just as a side dish for your meals but you can eat a bowl as a snack or dessert. It must be noted that this is not your typical raita, as it is sweet instead of savory and full of masalas.

Crush a few saffron strands in a bowl, add warm water and let it rest while you prepare the rest. This way, the warm water will be infused with the saffron’s color and flavor. Add yogurt to another bowl along with the saffron-infused water and whisk until the mixture is smooth. 

Add the mango pieces and sliced almonds, mix everything together, and serve chilled. Paired best with spicy pulaos and biryanis, or any spicy curry, the sweetness and cooling effects of this mango recipe are bound to soothe you.
