Mangoes are used in many cuisines. Sour, unripe mangoes are used in [[chutney]]s (i.e., [[mango chutney]]), [[Mango pickle|pickles]], [[Dal|daals]] and other side dishes in [[Indian cuisine]]. A summer drink called ''[[aam panna]]'' is made with mangoes. Mango pulp made into jelly or cooked with red gram ''[[dhal]]'' and green chilies may be served with cooked rice. [[Mango lassi]] is consumed throughout South Asia, prepared by mixing ripe mangoes or mango pulp with [[buttermilk]] and sugar. Ripe mangoes are also used to make curries. ''[[Aamras]]'' is a thick juice made of mangoes with sugar or milk and is consumed with ''[[chapatis]]'' or ''[[pooris]]''. The pulp from ripe mangoes is also used to make jam called ''mangada''. '' Andhra [[aavakaaya]]'' is a pickle made from raw, unripe, pulpy, and sour mango mixed with chili powder, [[fenugreek]] seeds, [[mustard powder]], salt, and [[groundnut oil]]. Mango is also used to make ''dahl'' and ''chunda'' (a sweet and spicy, grated mango delicacy). In [[Indonesian cuisine]], unripe mango is processed into ''[[asinan]]'', ''[[rojak|rujak]]'' and ''[[sambal#Indonesia|sambal pencit/mangga muda]]'',<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sendari |first1=Anugerah Ayu |title=8 Resep Olahan Mangga Muda Menyegarkan, dari Manisan Sampai Sambal |url=https://www.liputan6.com/lifestyle/read/5307201/8-resep-olahan-mangga-muda-menyegarkan-dari-manisan-sampai-sambal?page=9 |website=liputan6.com |date=8 June 2023 |access-date=22 August 2024 |language=Indonesian}}</ref> or eaten with [[Salt#Edible salt|edible salt]].<ref>{{cite web |title=7 Khasiat Tidak Terduga Rutin Mengonsumsi Mangga Muda Campur Garam |url=https://m.jpnn.com/news/7-khasiat-tidak-terduga-rutin-mengonsumsi-mangga-muda-campur-garam |website=jpnn.com |access-date=22 August 2024 |language=Indonesian}}</ref>

Mangoes are used to make ''[[murabba]]'' (fruit preserves), ''muramba'' (a sweet, grated mango delicacy), ''amchur'' (dried and powdered unripe mango), and pickles, including a spicy mustard-oil pickle and alcohol. Ripe mangoes are cut into thin layers, [[desiccate]]d, folded, and then cut. The fruit is also added to cereal products such as [[muesli]] and oat [[granola]].

Mango is used to make [[juices]], [[smoothie]]s, [[ice cream]], fruit bars, ''[[raspado]]s'', ''[[aguas frescas]]'', [[pie]]s, and sweet [[chili sauce]], or mixed with ''[[Chamoy (Sauce)|chamoy]]'', a sweet and spicy chili paste. In Central America, mango is either eaten green, mixed with salt, vinegar, [[black pepper]], and hot sauce, or ripe in various forms.

Pieces of mango can be mashed and used as a topping on ice cream or blended with milk and ice as [[milkshake]]s. Sweet glutinous rice is flavored with [[coconut]], then served with sliced mango as [[mango sticky rice]]. In other parts of Southeast Asia, mangoes are pickled with fish sauce and [[rice vinegar]]. Green mangoes can be used in mango salad with fish sauce and [[dried shrimp]]. Mango with [[condensed milk]] may be used as a topping for [[shaved ice]].
