Continuing with my obsession with mangoes, I cannot resist mentioning a very simple drink called Aamras! It is churned out with ripe pulpy mangoes, with a sprinkle of cardamom powder. Childhood summer holidays,were never complete without sumptuous paranthas for breakfast, accompanied by large glasses- filled to the brim with delicious Aamras!
Tip: You can use almost over-ripe mangoes as well as ripe mangoes for this recipe.
Ingredients:
Ripe mangoes: 3 medium sized (washed, peeled and cut into small pieces)
Cold Milk: 500ml
Cold Water: 250 ml
Sugar: 1 cup (powdered)
Large Cardamom- 1 (powdered)
Method:
In a blender jar, add all the mango pieces, powdered sugar, powdered cardamom and milk. Now, blend this till you have a lovely mango purée. To this, add cold water and blend some more.
Serve chilled !
Tip: You can refrigerate this for a day. If you want to keep it longer, then do not add the milk in the first instance. Prepare it only with water and add chilled milk before serving.
