About Aamras
‘Aam’ means Mango and ‘Ras’ means juice so aamras is nothing but mango juice. Traditional aamras is served chilled with poori but can be served as a standalone dessert too. Aamras Puri is a great popular combination.
Choose ripe sweet juicy mangoes for this recipe. I used alphonso mangoes and it was so juicy and yum.You can use neelam, senthooram or such varieties that are juicy and not fibrous for making it.
In India, Aamras is commonly prepared during festivals like Holi and Navratri. It is a popular and favourite dessert especially in regions where mangoes are abundant.
