Chef Sanjeev Kapoor shares sweet and spicy mango granita recipe: See step-by-step preparation

Ingredients for mango granita

• 4 medium ripe mangoes
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
• ½ tsp red chilli powder
• ½ tsp black salt
• ½ lemon
• ½ cup sugar syrup
• Fresh mint sprigs for garnish

Method of preparation

1. Prepare the mangoes. Cut and peel the mangoes and extract the pulp. With the help of a hand blender (a regular blender works just fine), blend the pulp to a creamy consistency.
2. Add to the blended pulp salt, roasted cumin powder, red chilli powder and black salt. Squeeze lemon, add sugar syrup and blend them to a fine mixture.
3. Transfer the blended mango and spice mixture into an air-tight container. Layer it evenly before putting the lid on.
4. Transfer the container into the refrigerator and let it stay for six to eight hours, or until the mixture is completely frozen.
5. Take out the tiffin box from the refrigerator. With the help of a fork, scrape out the frozen mixture.
6. Transfer the scraped frozen mango mixture into individual serving glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve chilled.
