Fajeto | Ripe Mango Kadhi

Ripe Mango Kadhi or Fajeto is one of my favorite during mango season. It is also a dish that both my dad and I enjoy thoroughly. Mom makes double the quantity and both of us enjoy it the next day. Mom always made Be Padi roti, Keri no Ras, Dhokla, Gunda nu shak along with Fajeto and Bhat. I am sharing a quick step by step recipe here and hope you will enjoy this dish.
