Aamras and Poori/ Puri

Aamras is the pulp of the tropical fruitMangoeaten inIndia. The pulp of a ripe fruit is extracted usually by hand and consumed along withChapatti. At timesgheeand milk are added to the pulp to enhance its flavour. Sugar is also added to adjust the sweetness.

A regional version of Aamras is a popular dessert in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Marwari and Maharashtra during festivals. Since the fruit is seasonal, being harvested at the end of summer, the need to preserve the fruit in the form of pulp has given rise to a moderately large Mango processing industry. Aamras is best way to serve mango in smooth puree form with flavour of elachi and kesar. For Aamras you can prefer alphonso or kesar or both varieties of mangoes. Mango is king of fruits and in summer season, you can easily get many varieties in mangoes.

You can serve chilled Aamras with hot puri or Indian flatbread. Even you can serve Aamras with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream as dessert after meal. The addition of milk eases the process of blending into a smooth puree. But make sure you do not add more quantity of milk as it will make the consistency like milkshake
