1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sugar (or more to taste)

1-2 pinches cardamom

*Available in Indian grocery stores in 30-ounce cans. Once you've used your tablespoon or two, the mango pulp keeps in the refrigerator in a plastic container for a week or two and in the freezer for much longer. It is delicious for drizzling over ice cream, serving with pancakes, making into a sorbet or a fruit shake. Or perhaps you'll just get hooked on lassi.
