The word “Aamras” itself explains the
whole recipe. The word “Aam” means mango and “ras” means juice. Basically aamras
is mango juice, which can also be called as mango nectar. Aamras is famous
Maharashtrian dish prepared with mango puree, sugar and cardamom. In summer,
aamras is enjoyed in every home as wide variety of mangoes is available in
market. It can be served with hot pooris or can be served as side dish with your
meals.
Generally aamras or mango nectar is
prepared using Ratnagiri Alphonso Mango or Ratnagiri Hapus Aam (one variety of
mango which is famous in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra). If these mangoes are hard to
find, you can simply use any sweet mangoes like kolar alphonso, sindura, or
dasheri.
Aamras can be stored in an air tight
container for one year. Whenever you want to use it, remove it from the freezer
an hour before and use it as required. It has awesome flavor and can be used in
many forms of recipe.
