Can you make Mango Kulfi with fresh mangoes?

Of course, you can! To make mango puree at home, select sweet, ripe, and less-fibrous kinds of mangoes.

How to tell if the mango is ripe?

Never focus on the bright yellow color. Color is a factor but is always judged by the feel and smell. To feel- take a mango in your hand and squeeze gently. A ripe mango will squeeze in with a slight press.

For smell - bring the stem part of the mango closer to your nose and smell - a ripe mango will sometimes have a sweet fruity aroma at the stem part.

Take four large mangoes. Wash them thoroughly under tap water.
Peel the skin and dice the mangoes into medium-sized pieces.
Transfer the diced mangoes to a blender.
Add 1/4 cup of water and pulse until blended.
Now pass the blended mangoes through a fine mesh to eliminate the mango fibers.
The strained puree is your mango puree. Use this in any recipe that calls for mango puree.

PROTIP- Before blending the mangoes, taste them. Add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the mangoes and blend until smooth if they taste sour.
