How to make Aamras Puri
Aamras Puri recipe: The word ‘Aamras’ comes from the Sanskrit words Amra (mango) and rasa (juice), so the literal meaning of Aamras is ‘mango juice’. Aamras is a mango puree that is cherished as a dessert or side dish. Pulp from mango is extracted usually by hand or blender, and mixed with sugar, milk/water and cardamom powder and served on its own as a dessert or with crispy puffed puri for a hearty meal.
Aamras Puri is a popular dish in Maharashtra. The taste of mango itself is nice but by adding cardamom powder and saffron to it, aamras tastes even better. You can add little Jaggery for a healthy sweeter as jaggery has many health benefits as compared to sugar and it really brings traditional aroma and taste to aamras. The taste and flavour of aamras is mainly depends on the type and quality of mangoes that you use. Alphonso or Kesar mangoes are highly recommended for making very tasty aamras as their juice is very thick and their colour is also nice.
I always prefer to prepare aamras at home because we can choose the mangoes we like, and add ingredients as per our taste plus it is completely safe and healthy food for the family. There are so many companies selling aamras online, but in store-bought aamras, they may use artificial flavours/essences, preservatives to increase its lifespan and may be mixed with papaya pulp. As mangoes are expensive and papaya is cheaper in price. So I have never liked those.
Aamras is a very popular mango delicacy from the Indian states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan there is slight variation in ingredients.
Maharashtrian Aamras: add cardamom powder.
Gujarati Aamras or ‘Keri no ras’: add dry ginger powder or sonth and top with ghee (clarified butter)
Rajasthani Aamras: add saffron while blending mango pulp.
