These are some ingredients which i use to make aamras. You can use brown sugar jaggery. Depend on sweetness of mango use sugar.
Wash mangoes properly remove its stems, start to chop them and take all pulp in blender….
Add 1/2 cup of milk which is completely cold otherwise it will spoil aamras. So must use cold milk.
Add 1 tbsp of sugar. If you want some more sugar you can add. But some mangoes are naturally sweet, so check sweetness before adding sugar.
Blend mango pulp with sugar and milk together in blender or mixer grinder.Blend until smooth it. If you didn’t use sugar powder it will take 2 mins extra here i use powdered sugar.
Remove all aamras in bowl. Add Cardamon powder which helps to increase flavor. it gives good smell as well. Add Saffron/kesar if available. It’s optional because it is not available all the places.
Let chill in refrigerator half hour or you can eat as it. Aamras is ready add some ghee and serve with puris or chapatis.
