I would start off by saying, holy it’s NOT mango season and yet I have a mango recipe for you today. Why?
Because I love the Husband so much, including his craze over mangoes. Every small happiness is the key to a successful marriage.
Free advice are very hard to come by these days. Take it.
While Alphonso mangoes thrives oh so very sweetly in India during summer, we aren’t that lucky to get it here in Florida. So we make do with whatever mangoes we can get our hands on.
The key is to avoid using green mangoes at any cost. If you can’t find the yellow ones, keep looking. It’s not worth making this hot cakes with sour or bitter mangoes.
The key is sweetness.
We were at an ethnic Indian food store when the Husband spotted cases filled with mangoes.
The next thing I know, we paid for a case of unseasonable mangoes. And this was not the hard part.
The toughest days followed the Husband’s agonizing gaze looking to see if the mangoes have ripened enough, that could potentially risk our date night.
Yeah, people. He is very serious about mangoes. And if you are like him, then go get some fresh ripe mangoes and make this hot cakes to apologize for ruining a future date night.

Off to avenge by going on a lunch date with my BFF — don’t worry, the Husband would be left sulking at home without his beloved mangoes.
How much do you love tropical fruits? What are your favorite seasonal fruit “must-haves”?

When good quality mangoes are in season and better yet if they go on sale, I buy by the cases, peel and slice into desired size pieces and freeze for future use.
There are 2 freezing methods:
Package into meal-size portion or spread on plastic lined sheet pan and freeze, once frozen remove to freezer bag and return to freezer.
Mangoes makes me happy… and your photos makes me crave for some 😀

I loved the quote about small happinesses making a better marriage, I’ve been noticing that a lot at home lately, that it’s the day to day that you have to focus on not just the big events. this food looks delicious, I bet your hubby had a huge grin on his face when you served it up to him!

oh i love hot cakes and using mango in them is so creative and new to me! the sweetness of the mangos sounds just perfect in it! FYI_ the whole wheat flour works so much better in my opinion then AP in something like this! Great job
