Aamras
20 Jun
Aamras literally means "mango nectar" and that’s exactly what it is – flavored pulp of ripe mangoes. A summer regular on any Gujarati thali, aamras is unusual in that it isn’t an end-of-meal dessert – it is part of the main course, eaten with pooris and parathas.
As delicious as aamras is, it is also simple to make. Here’s how.
You Need:
- Ripe Mangoes – 2
- Sugar – 1 tablespoon (adjust according to the sweetness of the mango)
- Milk – 1 tablespoon
- Crushed cardamom – 1
How To:
Peel the mangoes and extract their pulp/juice, discarding the seeds.
Take the mango pulp/juice in a blender along with sugar, milk and crushed cardamom, and pulse. To make the consistency runnier, add more milk or cold water.
To Serve:
Chill for at least two hours before serving. Serve with pooris/parathas and pickle.
