Dear Tomato!

I know about mango kheer, mango coconut sweet balls and mango cream. But I do not know about mango burfi. Mango halwa can be made with mango pieces as well as full cream milk powder. I have not yet tried it. If you want that recipe, I will post it for you!

Dear Suganthi!

I have already told that the taste will not be the same if the mutton or chicken is omitted. This recipe will be delicious only if the mutton is added in it.
