It is generally said that we eat with our eyes first. So why not make our food more appealing by styling it beautifully? Here I’m sharing with you how to make a rose with mango fruit. You can use these gorgeous mango roses to top puddings, cakes, or even elevate a simple salad. (Here I’ve used these roses to top my Bhapa Doi made in little ramekins. I’ll share the Bhapa Doi recipe later!)

Peel the mango fully.
Slice off the mango cheeks carefully.
Place one cheek flat side down on the chopping board.
Using a sharp knife, slice it thinly lengthwise. You will notice that the slices lay close to each other.
With the help of both your hands, give the row of slices a slight twist, elongating it so that it resembles a snake.
Gently coil this 'mango snake' around itself to form a spiral, shaping it into a beautiful rose.
Lift the rose carefully with the help of a spatula and place it on your pudding, cake, or salad.
Use firm but ripe mangoes—overripe ones may be too soft to hold shape.
Also choose mangoes with less fibre, Alphonso, Kesar and Safeda are some recommendations.
Slice as thin as possible for a delicate, layered look.
Keep a small bowl of water nearby to clean your knife between cuts for neat slices.
Practice once or twice before your final dish—it gets easier with a little patience! so have some extra mangoes for practice.
One mango cheek makes one rose.
Can I use overripe mangoes for this recipe?
No, overripe mangoes may be too soft to hold their shape and won't work well for creating the rose.
How thin should the mango slices be?
Slice the mango as thin as possible to achieve a delicate, layered look for the rose.
What can I use mango roses for?
Mango roses can be used to top puddings, cakes, or even to elevate a simple salad.
How many roses can I make with one mango?
One mango cheek makes one rose, so you can make two roses with one mango.
Do I need any special tools to make a mango rose?
No special tools are required, but a sharp knife, chopping board and a spatula will be helpful.
