Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Ripe mangoes (preferably Alphonso or Kesar)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (optional, adjust based on mango sweetness)
- 0.25 cup Milk (optional, for a creamier texture)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 5 strands Saffron strands (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the mangoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Peel the mangoes using your hands or a knife, and remove the seeds. Ensure you collect all the pulp in a large mixing bowl.
Transfer the mango pulp to a blender. Blend the pulp until smooth and creamy.
Taste the pulp, and if the mangoes are not sweet enough, add sugar. Blend again to mix well.
For a creamier texture, add milk in small quantities while blending. Skip this step if you want a traditional thick Aam Ras.
Add ground cardamom to the blended mango mixture and stir well to incorporate the flavor.
Chill the Aam Ras in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the best taste.
Serve the Aam Ras cold in bowls or glasses, garnished with saffron strands if desired. Enjoy it as a dessert or with puris for a traditional Indian meal.
