What is Mango Mastani
Legend has it, that Mango Mastani was named after the warrior princess "Mastani" who won the heart of Peshwa Bajirao - a great warrior who ruled from Pune, Maharashtra. This drink reportedly originated in Pune and has become popular over the years. It is a local favorite during the hot Indian summers, a must-try treat at Sujata Mastani and Gujjar Cold Drink House in Pune.

Ingredients
- Fresh Mangoes - Traditionally Mango Mastani is made using Alphonso mangoes. Here in the US, I love using other sweet varieties like Keitt, Kent, Haden, and Atulfo that are readily available. In the winter months, you can also use store-bought mango pulp. I would recommend Alphonso or Kesar mango pulp available in Indian grocery stores.
- Milk - Creamy whole milk works best, but I often use 2% milk. You can easily make this recipe by using dairy-free almond milk or soy milk.
- Ice cream - I recommend using vanilla ice cream as it compliments the mango flavors. You can also use mango ice cream. And if you do not eat eggs check out egg-less ice cream brands like Tillamook and Breyers.
- Nuts - I love adding pistachios as the toppings, but you can add nuts of your choice, and also can be made nut-free if you are allergic to nuts.
- Cherries - Optional topping but I would recommend grabbing a bottle of maraschino cherries that s easily available in most US grocery stores. After all, it's the cherry on top that makes this drink visually striking! In India, tutti fruit is often added as a topping, so if you have it on hand go ahead and use it.
