Aamras Recipe:
Serves 2
Preparation time: 10 mins | Cooking time: nil | Total time:10 mins
Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Desserts
Ingredients:
2 ripen Alphonso Mangoes(or kesar or a mix of both)
3-4 tbsp Sugar
2-3 tbsp Milk (optional)
2-3 tbsp Milk (optional)
1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
Method:
- Wash and peel the skin of mangoes and cut into pieces.
- In a blender add chopped mangoes,sugar and cardamom powder and blend to a fine puree.
- If needed add milk and blend again to a smooth consistency.Now check the sweetness and add more sugar if needed.You can make it slightly thin or thick according to your preference,I prefer to make it very thick.
- Refrigerate it for 1-2 hrs before serving.
Serve it with hot Puris or Chapati or as a dessert after your meal.Serve Aamras with vanilla ice cream,it tastes very nice.
Notes:
![aamras]( "aamras")
- I usually prefer to use alphonsos for it,but you can even use kesar or a mix of alphonso and kesar.
- The addition of sugar depends on the sweetness of mangoes,so add accordingly.
- The addition of milk eases the process of blending into a smooth puree.But make sure you do not add more milk as it will make the consistency thinner like milkshake.
- You can even add saffron while blending the mangoes.
- If you like dry fruits,you can add roasted cashew nuts,badam and pistachios to it and mix.
- You can also mash the mango pulp with hands and avoid the process of blending but the resultant puree would not be smooth.
- Sugar can be substituted with Jaggery in the recipe.
- Another best way to serve Aamras is to serve it with Vanilla ice cream or whipped Cream,it makes an easy and light dessert during Summers.
