No-Fuss Aamras Puri
This Aamras Puri recipe uses fresh mangoes and milk to give you that perfectly cream Aamras (mango pulp) that is naturally sweetened. No unnecessary ingredients added, just pure goodness for this summer treat. Dunk a puri and scoop it out. It's addictive.
In Hindi, Aam stands for the word Mango and Ras stands for juice. Thus Aamras is the fresh Mango Pulp (juice like consistency) squeezed from mangoes, and not jut any mango but a variety called Kesar. It is often enjoyed as a summer treat in the states of Maharashtra and Gujrat. There are many variations of Aamras that are flavored with ginger powder, saffron or cardamom powder, however I enjoy it in it's purest forms. Some prefer it as is, and some like to pair it with fluffy whole wheat puris (fried bread).
