By SriVani Ganti
In India, mangoes ring in the summer. Their juices dribble down hands as people try to hold onto the slippery yellow fruit. Fragrance is the key to Indian cooking. One delicate spice used is rose water. Used in religious services as well as food, it adds a whole new level of flavor to dishes. Rose water can easily be found in any Indian grocery store. When you combine the sweetness of the mangoes with the fragrance of rose water. You get a unique dessert that will make your taste buds dance.
