Notes

Notes:
You can add cardamom powder or cinnamon powder instead of black pepper. I liked the salt and pepper combo going with the sweet mango taste
If your mango doesn't have that tangy edge, you can also squeeze a few drops of lime
You can try this with larger quantities, since this is my first try, I used just one mango. Since it is ready in a jiffy, it can be made as and when you need it
A thinner version of this will go really well as a pancake topper.
