Made with fresh mango pulp, creamy milk and vanilla ice cream – the Mango Mastani is a satisfying affair by itself. It is similar to a thick, pulpy and creamy mango milkshake, however, the main difference is that it is topped with vanilla ice cream, chopped dry fruits and some interesting spices. The Mango Mastani may seem familiar to a dessert, however, Pune people vehemently advise against calling it an ice-cream.
