AAMRAS RECIPE-MANGO RECIPES

To start with mango recipes, i chose this simple and easiest North indian dessert recipe,Aamras.Aam – Mango,Ras – juice/Pulp.As its name indicates,its just the pulp of ripe mangoes sweetened with sugar or jaggery flavoured with cardamom or saffron/Kesar or dry ginger powder.After i went through some websites,i came to know that this recipe is very popular in Gujarat,Maharashtra and Rajasthan & made during festivals.Each recipe has its own mild variations.But in general,i read they all have this aamras with poori/puri.First i felt it to be an unusual combo but after i tried, i realised its taste and loved it.It was tasting like jam with poori or roti.Kids would love this combo.Basically i love the combination of sweet & spice.So i had poori with aamras & pickle .I just dipped a piece of poori in aamras and mango thokku and enjoyed it.The combination of sweet and spicy taste made me eat 3-4 pooris.Do try this way.U may love it like me .Over to the recipe..

METHOD

Wash and peel the mangoes,Cut into pieces.Take them in a mixie jar.Add sugar or jaggery based on the sweetness of mango. Add cardamom powder or dry ginger powder or saffron threads while grinding.( Cardamom is used in Maharashtra,Saffron threads are used in Rajasthan and  dry ginger powder in Gujarat – thanks for these info Spice up the curry) . Add  little milk or water while grinding. I used 3-4 tbsp of milk. Remove and serve with poori/puri. NOTE While adding milk,take care u add less because aamras should be thick in consistency.Also adding more milk makes it a milk shake. Add sugar or jaggery based on the sweetness of mangoes.Sometimes sugar may not be necessary too. Add  any one of the flavouring agent based on ur liking.But do not add everything.It will change the taste.
