Aamras

0 comments
Summer season is incomplete without the mention of Aamras. Aamras or sweet Mango pulp is a very popular sweet dish. In Maharashtra and Gujarat, it is generally served along with Puris. My grandmother adds a teaspoon of ghee (Sajuk Toop in 'Marathi') while serving. 

Servings : 2-3 persons along with Main Course 

Ingredients :
5-6 Ripe Alphanso Mangoes 
2-3 tbspns Sugar (approx.)
A pinch of salt

Method :
First wash all the mangoes. Discard the tip of mangoes and squeeze out the pulp. Thereafter, remove the mango seeds from the pulp. Then add Sugar and a pinch of salt to it. Stir it with a spoon. Refrigerate it for few hours. Serve chilled with Puris.

Notes :
1. You may also add cardamom powder and saffron strands to the pulp make it even more rich.
2. If the mangoes are sweet enough, then do not add sugar to the pulp.
3. To get a even and smooth consistency, you may blend the mixture by adding some milk to Aamras.
