This year, Thai rapper Danupha “Milli” Khanatheerakul ended her performance at Coachella with a bowl of mango sticky rice. The rapper has instantly put one of Thailand’s much-loved desserts on the map, with searches for the desserts rising. So much so that the Thai government is planning on proposing the dish for a UNESCO listing! While we may not be able to bring Milli’s mango sticky rice to you, here are some restaurants in India that do serve this tropical delicacy. By Anushka Goel
Mango season is here, and we’re all relishing the soft yet firm yellow flesh of the tropical fruit. It has found its place across cuisines and dishes — from mango curries to aamrakhand, achars and chutneys, mango smoothies, and more. Another popular dish that uses this golden fruit is mango sticky rice, a combination of mangoes, sticky rice and coconut milk, which is the right amount of sweet and indulgent to relish on a hot summer day.

Note that the dish is a seasonal one, and the best versions of the dish will be available when mangoes are in season, and some restaurants may not serve it apart from these months.
