Vegan Mango Aamras Recipe

Aamras, a beloved mango delicacy originating from Maharashtra and Gujarat in Western India, is a culinary favorite. Explore this delightful aamras recipe accompanied by detailed step-by-step photos, perfect for a luxurious summer indulgence. Whether savored on its own or paired with Poori (Indian fried bread), relish the flavors of this seasonal delight.

In Hindi, "Aam" translates to mango, while "Ras" denotes essence, extract, or juice. Therefore, "aamras" signifies a luscious mango extract. In Gujarati, it is known as "Keri no Ras," where "keri" signifies mango.

Essentially, aamras is pureed mango or mango nectar, synonymous with a summer delicacy. A favorite dish I often prepare on weekends during the Indian summers is aamras poori.

Traditionally, aamras is enjoyed with Poori, creating the beloved combination known as aamras puri, favored by many and widely popular.

However, aamras can also serve as a sweet dish after a meal or enjoyed at any time. Recently, a reader mentioned in the comments below that neer dosa pairs well with aamras.

As mentioned earlier, aamras holds significant popularity in both Gujarat and Maharashtra. In fact, it is often served in the thali meal during Gujarati and Maharashtrian weddings.

Note
  • You could even add your choice of nuts and dry fruits to your aamras. If adding cashews, then fry or roast cashews until golden and mix it with the aamras.
  • In summers we serve aamras cold or chilled. To make a cold aamras, either refrigerate the mangoes for a couple of hours or add a few ice cubes while blending the mangoes.
  • Mostly, the alphonso variety of mango is used for making aamras. Though you can also make with any sweet juicy mangoes. Ensure the mangoes are not fibrous.
