Expert Tips

  • There are many ways to cook boba like in the pack it said to cook just 5-6 mins then set aside for an hour then use it. But this method of cooking it for 20 mins is perfect as we get chewy yet slightly soft boba.
  • Choose ripe juicy mangoes to make puree. Alternately you can use readymade mango puree too.
  • After assembling serve it immediately.

Serving & Storing Suggestion

You can serve Mango Boba Tea chilled. After assembling serve it immedaitely. This drink keeps well for a day in room temperature and in fridge for 2 days but tastes best when consumed fresh.

Aamras Recipe | Aamras Puri

Aamras is a popular Indian dessert made from juicy, sweet mangoes. Aamras is a sweet sidedish that is enjoyed during mango season. Aamras is a great refreshment as a dessert or can be relished with poori. It is a must try at home during mango season. Aamras Recipe is explained here with step by step pictures and video.

Aamras

Aamras is nothing but sweetened mango pulp with mild flavourings from saffron and cardamom. As the mango season is going to end, I wanted to try this easy and yummy dish. It can be served as dessert or as a sidedish for Poori.

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.

Aamras

Aamras Ingredients

  • Mangoes – Choose ripe, sweet juicy less fibrous mangoes. Alphonso is the recommended variety for this recipe. However you can use senthooram, neelam, banganapalli varieties too.
  • Sugar – You can use regular white sugar or cane sugar or even brown sugar. But cane sugar or brown sugar changes the color.
  • Flavourings – I have used saffron and cardamom.
  • Garnish – You can either add chopped nuts or just few strands saffron for garnish as I have did.
