Instructions
MAKING OF SAVORY GRILLED MANGO
- Take a mango, wash and wipe it.
- Slice the mango into vertical pieces from the pit so that you get 2 mango cheeks.
- Now give a few vertical and few horizontal slits giving the mango flush a diamond pattern. Make sure not to cut through the skin, so that the peel should remain intact.
- Brush some olive oil over the cheeks flush.
- Grease the grilling pan with olive oil and pre-heat the pan.
- Place mangoes cheeks on the center of the grill with fleshy side downwards.
- Grill for 1-2 minutes and thereafter rotate the mangoes 90 degrees and grill for 1-2 more minutes. You can use forks to handle the cheeks comfortably.
- Take the mango cheeks out and put in a serving plate.
- Pop the flesh by holding the skin side and pushing upwards.
- Squeeze half lemon over the mango cheeks.
- Sprinkle some salt and red chilli powder.
- Enjoy.
