question

If using frozen mango for this recipe how many grams of mango should you use?

tropicalparadox

Other recipes that I've seen seem to use a 1:1 ratio of mango chunks (fresh or frozen) to yoghurt. So 1 cup mango to 1 cup yoghurt. Double, triple, etc.

And for the lumpen reader who may need their hand holding, perhaps you should point out that it's only the mango FLESH that is used...

I don’t think the cardamom quantity is correct. It should be the seeds for 2 pods ground not 2 teaspoons of ground cardamom. I thought it sounded too much and checked it several times. Sadly, I was corrrect and it tasted very medicinal not a pleasant experience even when I added a mashed banana.

Is it mot possible to simply titrate to taste? The recipe is a guide not a gun to our heads, surely.
