Preparing the mangoes

– First, take two fresh raw mangoes and wash them thoroughly with clean water. Now, cut off and discard the top portion of the mangoes (the stem end). Using a peeler, remove the skin from the mangoes.

– Extract the pulp of raw mangoes

– Cut the mangoes into small pieces to make them easier to blend in a mixer. Separate and discard the pits and collect all the mango pulp in a bowl.

– Prepare a mixture in a blender

– Now, take a blender jar and add the chopped mango pulp, sugar and a little water. Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth and thick consistency. Adding food colour is optional here.
