Predominantly, ripe mangoes are used in sweet dishes, be it for breakfast or dessert, because of their flavour profile. On the other hand, raw mangoes usually find their utility in tangy and savoury stuff.

However, this is not a strict distinction, as celebrity chef and MasterChef India judge Ranveer Brar demonstrated with his recipe for spicy mango curry. The recipe calls for small, overly ripe mangoes and is the perfect dish to liven up the taste buds if one gets bored with the mango panna, phirni, kulfi, and puddings.
