Description

Mango mastani is actually a glorious and richer version of mango milkshake. Mango mastani has it's origins from Pune, in Maharashtra. A story about the origin of this recipe goes like this- an old milk shake shop in Pune made this drink and a customer who was very impressed with the taste said "mast", meaning lovely. The name of the beautiful wife of Maratha prime minister was Mastani. So "mast" and "mastani" combined together made the shopkeeper call the drink Mango mastani.There are slight variations in the way it is made from shop to shop and from home to home, though the basic ingredients remain the same.
