The recipe says it all. The mango season is coming up in India and we all look forward to the Alphonso variety which is arguably the tastiest mango in the world I am told. :)Adapted from the Femina once more. I have a whole collection of the pull outs of the recipe section of this magazine. This recipe can be made with baby corn for vegetarians. Only you will need to add a little vegetable stock to cook the baby corn after sauteeing in a little oil. And no need of marinating the corn add all the marinade ingredients too at the time of cooking.
