Golden, ripe and juicy. Excellent with sticky rice and blended in a
shake. With rainy season about to start any day now high season for
mangoes will soon finish and they will vanish from the market stalls.
There are at least couple of varieties available, all different sizes and skin colour. I won't pretend I know much about that. I know only that the big yellow one is for the mango sticky rice (I don't need to bother with making as I can buy it right at my door step) and the green mango aka mamuang man (or just man มัน) is used for the green mango salad (although even man is sold ripe and sweet in the hot season).

I had two girlfriends over and we were making this for a Sunday branch and one of them brought a blender.
I thought picture of the mango girl is much more interesting that the picture of the pancakes but if the picture of the food that you are going to make is what motivates you to make it, your pancakes are gonna look like this.
- 3 large eggs
- 115 g flour (one glass) - I tried it with wholewheat before and it's also good
- 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
-140 ml milk (about 3/5 glass)
- pinch of salt
- 1 big, ripe and juicy Thai mango chopped into cubes (or any mango you can get hold of in a concrete jungle)
Equipment needed:
1 bowl, 1 glass, blender (if you don't have one you can use a fork but then you will need 2 bowls...), 1 pan, 1 spatula

Mango pancakes
(serves 3 I assume as it served the 3 of us but might have just as well serve 2 or 1...)- 3 large eggs
- 115 g flour (one glass) - I tried it with wholewheat before and it's also good
- 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
-140 ml milk (about 3/5 glass)
- pinch of salt
- 1 big, ripe and juicy Thai mango chopped into cubes (or any mango you can get hold of in a concrete jungle)
Equipment needed:
1 bowl, 1 glass, blender (if you don't have one you can use a fork but then you will need 2 bowls...), 1 pan, 1 spatula
- Separate the whites and the yolks - you will need focus and concentration as any traces of yolks in the whites will prevent them from beating and will prevent you from enjoying perfectly fluffy pancakes on a Sunday morning (and then whole Sunday will be RUINED). If you have limited equipment like me, place the yolks in the glass with milk
- Concentration time over - now you need some brisk and lively tune, such as Brother Ole by Asa (you may want to continue with the whole CD for the entire pancake making process), as we are going to use the blender now. Put the whites and salt in the blender and turn high speed on. Alternative method: place the whites and salt in a bowl and using a fork whip energetically with circular motion as if you were feeding a baby in an extra high speed mode*
- Mix yolks and the milk in the glass
- Mix the flour and baking powder a bowl and slowly pour milk and yolks mixture into the middle of the bowl and mix with circular motion slowly more and more towards the edges of the bowl until all flour dissolves and no lumps are visible
- Add the mango pieces
- Fold the whites gently into the batter
- fry on a medium heat until golden.
- Enjoy with great company until early hours of the afternoon
