Aamras is a sweet and tangy puree made from ripe mangoes, simmered with sugar and seasoned with cardamom, saffron, and other spices. It is a popular dish in the Western region of India and is often served as a dessert or as a side dish with hot puris.
Choosing Mangoes: Taste the mangoes before making Aamras Recipe. If they are sour, then add more sugar in method step 1.
Off Season Trick: To preserve the mangoes for a year, chop the mangoes into small pieces and freeze them in zip lock bags for up to a year and enjoy Aamras in off-season as well. If you are using frozen mango then thaw mango cubes in refrigerator before making mango puree. Do not choose over ripe mangoes for storing it into freezer.
Additional Add Ons: You could add 1/8 tsp cardamom powder or kesar strings before serving Aamras.
