It's that time of the year again when the mango harvest yields the king of all fruits -- the Alphonso.

The mango is an excellent source of Vitamin A and C.

You can eat it raw, ripe, blended in juices, nectars, jams and other yummy concoctions!

Nilesh Limaye, excecutive chef, Hotel Rodas, Mumbai, whips some simple recipes with the Alphonso mango. Have fun with these mango treats!
