radhuni, what is the significance of the mango leaf. Why is it considered sacred?
I need to find some rosewater so I can make a proper mango lassie.
Thanks radhuni. What are punjas?

I have never had a mango. I love mango flavored drinks. I will have to try one!!
I enjoy mangoes when I travel to places where they grow. Sadly, however, the ones that are shipped to US are picked green and gassed to travel. Imho, they never really ripen properly, and always have an "off" taste to me (maybe from the gasses, I don't know). Anyway, I don't like them here.
If we have a "King of Fruit" in US, I am sure it would be the apple. but there isn't one.
Our friend grows the most wonderful mangoes, I am making Mile High Mango Pie for Memorial Day.
