Aamras with Poori

What is Aamras?

Aamras is a sweet dish of India, usually prepared with extracting the pulp of mango preferably by hand, and is served with poori or roti. The word Aam means mango and Ras mean pulp or juice of mango.

There are popular versions of it in different states of India like Rajasthan ,Gujarat, Maharashtra and Marwari cuisine.

Can we store it for long?

Of course yes, as the mangoes are seasonal, it can be stored in freezer safe bags for few months in deep freezer. I prefer making it fresh with the fresh mangoes of the season.

Which mango to use for Aamras?

Normally the Indian Kesari, Dasheri or Alphonso mangoes makes the best Aamras. But if you haven’t got these you can make aamras with any varity avaialabe to you. You may need to add more or less sugar depending on the type of mango.

Ingredients needed to make Aamras

• First, Mango-Fresh seasonal mangoes washed and peeled.

Aamras is known as Keri no ras in Gujarati cuisine and is very popular to pair with poori.

How to make aamras?
