The drink is traditionally served in a tall glass and topped with chopped nuts, dried fruits, and a scoop of ice cream. The name “Mastani” is believed to have been inspired by Peshwa Baji Rao I’s wife, Mastani, known for her beauty and elegance.
With various delicious mangoes available this summer, this rich and indulgent Mango Mastani drink is a must-make recipe in your kitchen. It takes 10 minutes to prepare and keeps your stomach and heart full for a long time.
