Mango Frappe

Well..this was all about getting inspired by a pic..a picture of a lady(happens to be my best pal:-) )sitting next to dozens of finely displayed mangoes at the koyambedu market,chennai.This image stirred emotions across USA and UK....But the availability of fresh naadan mangoes at these places are at the mercy of the indian stores and it seems that the same night a UK pravaasi who happen to see the pic got into 2-3 Desi stores searching for the perfect mangoes only to be disappointed.such is the power of a Mango!!

Back here too i had to satisfy myself with a can of mango puree .Then the next thought is obviously what all to do with a puree?Mango shakes will be a little outdated..well indianfoodforeever gave an insight on how to make a Mango Frappe. The frappe is all about creating a frothy top or foam.The foam itself has no effect on the actual taste of the drink , and in fact, the drinker generally utilizes a straw to prevent contact with the foam. But the foam is now considered an integral part of the frappe, and many people love the texture and the taste of the foamy top. Frappe lovers will not consume the drink without the proper amount of foam present!!!But i guess my mixer was not well enough to create that distinguised look.didnt have a blender with me:-( shoulf defnitely try it next time.
