Notes
1. Use well riped mangoes for a nice colour and more natural sweetness.
2. I have used low fat homemade paneer for this recipe but if you are in a hurry you can use market bought too. But add little milk in the recipe if using market bought paneer as they have a dry texture. You can grate the paneer or crumble it before cooking.
3. I have used sugar but you can also use condensed milk instead.
4. You can easily doubled or tripled the recipe according to your need.
5. For the best taste serve them chilled.
