Last week we posted a First Take Restaurant Review of Malai Kitchen in Uptown’s West Village. After receiving numerous emails from mango-loving readers, I reached out to Malai Kitchen to see if they’d be willing to shoot us the recipe for the sticky Mango Smash dessert. Thank goodness Chef Keith Cedotal was happy to share.
jump for the recipe…
