Ingredients

• 3 large ripe mangoes
• 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 8 strands saffron strands
• 0.25 cup milk or water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the mangoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the mangoes with a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, ensuring you remove all the skin.

Step 2

Using a knife, cut the flesh off the seed and chop the mangoes into rough chunks. Try to extract as much pulp as possible from the seed with a spoon.

Step 3

Place the mango chunks in a blender or food processor. If you desire a sweeter aamras and your mangoes are not very sweet, add the optional sugar at this stage.

Step 4

Blend the mangoes until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk or water to reach your desired consistency. The mixture should be thick but pourable.

Step 5

Add the cardamom powder and saffron strands to the mango puree. Blend again briefly to incorporate the spices evenly.

Step 6

Taste the aamras and adjust sugar or milk as necessary, depending on the sweetness of the mangoes.

Step 7

Chill the aamras in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving for a refreshing taste.

Step 8

Serve aamras in small bowls as a dessert or alongside hot, fresh poori for a traditional treat.
