The incredibly fragrant Alphonso mango from Indian is in season for a very short time from this month, so grab some while you can.
Take a ripe Alphonso mango and place on a board standing up. Run a sharp down the centre till you feel the kernel (about an inch down) and then follow it along to the right. Do the same on the other side. You will now have three pieces; the two meaty sides and the kernel in the middle. Discard the kernel and then cut slashes along the inside of the meaty pieces on two diagonals (but not all the way through the skin) and then flip back to reveal the cubes (as per the photo above). Here are some video demonstrations.
Place the mango pieces on a plate and drizzle on some passion fruit jam or simply some passion fruit pulp, a sprinkling of chopped mint and fresh red chili. Place a few raspberries alongside and dust on a little icing sugar to serve.
