“When Mangoes are in season, make the most of it” and that is our mantra! Salads, desserts, curries, ice-creams – go all out and have a Mango-fest 
This salsa is not from Indian Cuisine but the flavors are right on and fit so beautifully into it. Another amazing dish showing-off the diversity of the King of Fruits.
Ingredients:
Ripe Mango – 1 cup, cubed
Red Bell Pepper – 1/2 cup, diced
Onion – 1/4 cup, finely chopped
Jalapenos – to taste, chopped fine
Cilantro – to taste, chopped fine
Mint – few leaves, chopped fine
Roasted and Powdered Cumin Seeds – to taste
Salt – to taste
Lime or Lemon Juice – to taste
Method:
1. In a bowl, mix in all of the above ingredients.
2. Toss and chill for 25-30 minutes.
3. Serve with some Tortilla Chips, tacos, salad or an accompaniment with grilled food.
Tips:
This salad goes so well with an Indian meal and is very similar to Kachumber.

Congratulations Sudha! We both had our kids awhile back so not sure how “modern” our baby name suggestions would be
. I love my son’s name (Ayan). It is another name for Brahma.

R,
I named my daughter after her birth rashi however if I were just choosing a name I like a lot that is easy to pronounce also I would have chosen ‘Bella’ which is Indian and American or ‘Pia’ which is new to me and I heard it in an Indian movie and on American Idol with a contestant name Pia. There is a great website called Indiaparenting.com which has a lot of Indian baby names as well.
By the way, great refreshing recipe

Hi, i think lime/lemon juice goes better with tomato salsa so i use rice wine vinegar in mango salsa… try it and you’ll see there is a more appropriate tartness for the mango
Also, fresh ground pepper really accents mango salsa.

yes…
I do the same thing…even my 8 years daughter tells herself while searving her plate. She says- “take some rice and some curry at one corner of your plate, and fill rest of your plate with dessert….wowwwww….smells yummmm….
My husband tells me sometimes “thanks for adding
a bunch of problems to my life.”…Ha…ha…ha…
Our entire family do copy of Hetal-Anuja.

I was just thinking mango salsa when I saw your recipe. I mix vinegar, sugar and chopped
red chillies and pour over the salad. I want to thank you ladies for inspiring me to
cook traditional recipes like daal dohkri , poha chivda and burfee again. Hard recipes made easy. Your ingredients are very precise so recipes always turn out good. Love your website!

Cant wait to try it with other fruits now. that’s what i like about these recipes on your show, the base is given to us and we can have a field day with the recipe. added a pinch of chaat masala too to it:)

Hi Hetal and anuja,
Sorry for such a basic question. I am new here in US. Can you please tell me from where do you buy mangoes? If going to buy from american grocery market which type of mangoes will taste as sweet as alfanso mangoes in India?

Hi Richa,
We always buy our mangoes from the local Indian store. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of choices in the type of mango that is available. They usually come in a box with 9. If you can find it, the Kent variety is very good…hardly any fibers and very sweet.

Hi Hetal and Anuja. This is my first opportunity watching your show. Thank you, thank you!!! I love everything I’ve seen in the last hour and a half..that I should’ve been doing other things. Oh well, changing the grocery list now. I have one quick question. I love Peach Mango Salsa. Would the ingredients remain the same? Maybe half Mango and half fresh peach? What do you think?
Once again, thanks. Beautiful food and beautiful ladies.
Leslie

Hi Leslie,
Yes, you can definitely substitute some peaches for half the mangoes. You may want to peel the peaches. Since most of the ingredients are to taste, you can adjust them according to the sweetness of the peaches and mangoes.

thanks for the great recipe. where can i find rosted cumin powder? i live in CA and it is hard to get in Indian store.
thanks

Hi Sweete,
You can make your own roasted cumin powder. Just dry roast cumin seeds in a skillet until lightly brown and fragrant. Allow them to cool and grind them either in a spice/coffee grinder or by using a mortar/pestle.

Hi Hetal & Anuja,
I have a big party this weekend expecting 50 guests..planning on making this as a starter..
Do you think making this ahead of time (a day before) and refrigerating it is a good idea?
I wanted to make something for which I dont need to do anything at the time when I have to serve it. Do you have any other suggestions for a quick starter?
[Reply]
hetal Reply:
June 12th, 2012 at 3:27 am
Hi Amrita,
Yes, you can definitely make this a day ahead. In fact, sometimes, it tastes good when it marinates for awhile. Do not make it too far in advance, though. I can think of a couple of things right off hand…spinach and artichoke dip, pizza dip, hummus and pita chips. Please take a look at our “Appetizers” tab for more ideas. Good luck with your party.

Hi Sunita,
Sorry for the late response…yes, green bell peppers are fine to use. The red ones tend to have a slightly sweeter flavor.
