Ingredients:
- 500 grams of mango pulp (fresh or canned, ensuring it’s ripe and sweet for the best flavor)
- 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder (for a hint of aromatic spice)
- 1 cup of powdered sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
- 1 cup of water (to achieve the desired consistency)
- 5 tablespoons of lime juice (adds a zesty tang and balances the sweetness)
- 2 teaspoons of chat masala (for a touch of savory and spicy contrast)
- 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds (for a subtle earthy flavor)
Instructions:
-
Combine the Mango Pulp and Spices:
Begin by placing the mango pulp into a large mixing bowl. To this, add the cardamom powder and chat masala. These ingredients will infuse the mango pulp with a burst of aromatic and tangy flavors. -
Sweeten and Blend:
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, adjusting to taste. If you prefer a sweeter Aam Ras, donโt hesitate to add a little more sugar. Slowly incorporate the water, stirring continuously until you reach your desired consistencyโwhether you prefer it thick and creamy or a bit more fluid. -
Add the Zest:
Stir in the lime juice, which will enhance the freshness of the mango and add a bright, tangy contrast to the sweetness. Continue to mix until well combined. -
Chill to Perfection:
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the Aam Ras to cool down. -
Serve as Desired:
- As a Dip: Serve the chilled Aam Ras as a luscious accompaniment to warm puris or chapatis. This rich, fruity spread is perfect for a savory meal.
- As a Drink: If youโre serving it as a refreshing drink, pour it into glasses, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a delightful touch. The mint adds a hint of freshness and enhances the overall taste.
