It’s spring, it’s time for my neighbour to celebrate Songkran.
It’s spring, it’s time for my best friend to celebrate Ramadan.
It’s spring, it’s time for my teacher to celebrate Easter.
It’s spring, it’s time for us to celebrate Holi.
It’s spring, it’s time for me to harvest the mangoes.
Not just any mangoes. Alphonso Mangoes. The sweetest of all. Only in Spring.
As we handpick each mango, I know exactly what to do.
Mango sticky rice for my neighbour.
Mango Kheer for my best friend.
Mango Upside Down cake for my teacher.
Aamras puri for me.
But there aren’t enough mangoes for everyone!
What if we make a recipe perfect for all?
Whir. Whir. Mangoes and Milk.
Sip. Sip. Mango Milkshake. It’s spring. It’s time to share.
It’s spring, it’s time to celebrate Songkran, Ramadan, Easter, and Holi.
