The goodness of mango

The popular street food in most of the tropical countries. A simple-snap and sprinkle snack blow our mind with all its natural flavors and tastes.

Spiced mango is one of the first few recipes I try to make when mangoes are in season. The next I make is mango juice. My point is to consume the seasonal fruits that nature gifts me. Also, mango is rich in vitamin C, and a good source of copper, folate, and vitamin B6.

Selecting the mango

For this mango with chili powder recipe, the mango should neither too ripe nor too green. The mango should be firm. When you touch, the mango's skin should be soft and should stay intact. Which makes it easy for a delicious forkable snack.

Numerous varieties of mango available and all those varieties are excellent here. But the only thing to be considered here is the taste of the mango. If the mango is slightly sour, increase the quantity of chili powder and vice versa.

The simple recipe like this fresh and spicy mango chili does not require any kitchen skills.

Selecting the chili powder

Every region has its own version of chili powder. And the chili powder available here in the United States is a blend of spices. Usually made with paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, cumin, oregano, and onion powder. And this spice mix gives a chili mango a robust flavor, that is very addictive.

You may use the store-bought chili powder or you can make you own, by combining, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano powder.

Do you want to spice up than the chili powder? try blending the super hot cayenne pepper powder, or Indian red chili powder? Proceed with caution, this is super fiery. Just a pinch goes a long way.

How to make mango with chili powder

Serving suggestions

Midday Snack. A healthy spicy fruit snack to munch on without any guilt. Best to have as a midday snack, when you crave for something to eat. A good and refreshing alternative for all those fancy store-bought processed snacks.

Appetize in Party. Fruits are usually served as desserts, but this Mexican mango with chili powder tastes excellent when serving as the beginning of the course. Best finger food fit for party or potluck, the guest will love them surely.

How long to store?

The fresh fruits are always good and advisable to consume as soon as we cut. The mango loses its freshness, its extraordinary flavors for every hour after cutting. The sooner you serve, there is more possibility to intake all the goodness of mango.

However, depending on the firmness it can lengthen its serving time when refrigerated. There are no strict rules, it may stay good for 6 hours to 1 day according to the freshness of this tropical fruit. The firm mangoes stay longer than they ripen one.

The Variations

Tons of variation we can list out for this mango with chili powder-according to the time of serving.

If time is the main constraint, just sprinkle chili powder, salt, and lime juice. These three ingredients alone can do the wonders. However, when serving for a party consider the following,

  • Crushed black pepper. One of the other spice works great in here.
  • Ground cumin. Add-in for making the fruit more aromatic.
  • Papaya. Add papaya wedges along with the spiced and salted mango wedges.
  • Cucumber. It also complements the taste and texture of this snack.
  • Pineapple. This is another tropical fruit that I love to pair with.

FAQ

Why the mango should be firm?

Too ripen mango, cannot hold its shape once cut down for the mango with chili powder recipe. Moreover, the ripen mango has its natural sweetness and may not work well when combining with chili powder. When comparing with ripening and green mango, the green mango plays great with chili powder.

How to spice down the mango?

Once you served the cut mango and finding it too spicy to handle? Rinse them in the running water, the water takes away the spice coating. Then pat it with a kitchen towel, and now sprinkle the spice to your choice.

Can you eat mango skin?

Mango skin is edible and also packed with antioxidants, fibers, and minerals. Alternatively, it might also have pesticide and chemical residue. So always rinse well before serving.
Personally, I like to eat the mango along with its skin, when it is soft.
