What Kind Of Mango Should Be Use For Lonji?
If you want to make lonji, choose mangoes that are slightly raw, because the taste of lonji is a bit sour, and raw mangoes also have a sour taste. In summer, when mangoes are in season, take raw mangoes for lonji. Raw mangoes turn into ripe sweet mangoes with the passage of time, so you can’t buy raw mangoes with the intention of making lonji at that time. It will be too late for you to make lonji since raw mango season will be over. You will only get ripe, sweet mangoes.
