What are some yummy recipes using raw mangoes?

Aam Panna Recipe – Two Ways
Pressure Cooker Method: Pressure cook the mangoes over medium heat for 2 – 3 whistle along with water. Remove the stone, if any, in the mangoes. Allow the mango pulp to cool. Blend together the mango pulp, sugar, salt, spices, and mint until smooth.
Roasting Method: The second one if the roasting method. Wash and wipe the raw mangoes. Now, you can roast them directly over the gas stove flames or on the barbecue grill. Once that is done, get rid of the mango skin and the stone. Collect the pulp in a bowl. And blend it with sugar, spices, and mint leaves. The rest of the process is very similar to the one shared below. Only during the initial phase, we are roasting the mango pulp instead of pressure cooking to get the smoked flavor in the mango panna.
Many recipes suggest the roasting method for the more intense taste of mango pulp. I have tried the roasting process not with mango panna but with kiwi ka panna, prepared last summer. And needless to say, it was equally delicious too! Who could have thought that the tropical fruits like kiwi and mango can be turned into such tasty summer coolers?
