Here's a simple recipe to make aamras, a popular Indian mango dessert, at home using fresh and juicy mangoes during the summer:
Ingredients:
2 to 3 ripe and juicy mangoes
1-2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
A pinch of cardamom powder (optional)
A few strands of saffron (optional)
Chilled milk or water (if needed to adjust consistency)
Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
Wash the mangoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a towel.
Using a sharp knife, remove the skin of the mangoes and cut them into small pieces. Discard the mango pits.
Place the mango pieces in a blender or mixer grinder.
Add sugar to the mango pieces. Adjust the quantity of sugar depending on the sweetness of the mangoes and your preference.
Optionally, add a pinch of cardamom powder and a few strands of saffron to enhance the flavor. This step is completely optional but adds a nice touch to the aamras.
Blend the mango pieces, sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron until you obtain a smooth puree. If the puree is too thick, you can add a little chilled milk or water to adjust the consistency.
Once the aamras is blended to a smooth texture, transfer it to a serving bowl.
If you prefer, you can add a few ice cubes to the aamras to make it even more refreshing.
Serve the aamras chilled and enjoy it as a dessert or a refreshing drink.
