Aamras is popular in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. There are different flavored aamras in every region. Use any one option to flavor it up your aamras.

• Maharashtrian Aamras: add cardamom powder.
• Gujarati Aamras aka ‘Keri no ras’: add dry ginger powder or sonth and top with ghee (clarified butter)
• Rajasthani Aamras: add saffron while grinding mango

Here I have added Green Cadamom powder

Ingredients:

• 3                           Mangoes 
• 2-3 tbsp                Sugar or According to your taste
• 1/2  tsp                 Ground Cardamom
• 2 tbsp                    Milk (Optional)

Method:

1. Wash the mangoes and peel them.

2. Remove the pulp and discard the seeds.

3. Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend to make a smooth paste.

4. Add sugar and cardamom powder.

5. Garnish with mango cubes.

6. Serve chilled with hot Poories.

Notes:

• Sugar quantity is depending on the mangoes. If your mangoes are sour then you need more sugar. If mangoes are sweet then you need less sugar or sometimes no sugar. I have not added any sugar because the fruit was sweet enough to our taste.
• Milk or water– I usually do not add any milk or water. Because I like thick and strong mango flavor to my aamras. Specially Maharashtra, people use milk in aamras, while in Gujarat, people don’t use any milk or water. Addition of milk/water is up to your liking. If adding milk please careful not to thin out too much that it becomes drink.
