Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a silkier texture, strain the mango pulp and yogurt mixture before simmering to remove any fibrous or lumpy bits.
- If you prefer a slightly tangier Fajeto, add a small splash of lime juice just before serving, which complements the sweetness of the mango and balances the dish.
- For added crunch and depth, top each serving with a tempering of crisp curry leaves, dried red chilies, and roasted peanuts or cashews right before serving.
- Leftover Fajeto can be refrigerated for up to two days; gently reheat on low heat and whisk well to restore its creamy consistency, as it may thicken upon cooling.
