Ingredients
2 medium Mangoes, medium, peeled, pitted, and chopped
¼ pinch Cardamom powder
¼ teaspoon Dry ginger powder
few strands Saffron strands
to taste Sugar (optional)
Directions
Peel the mangoes, cut them in half to remove the pit, and chop the flesh into chunks for easier blending.
Place the chopped mango into a blender with the cardamom powder, dry ginger powder, and saffron strands.
Blend on high speed until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous puree with no lumps remaining.
Taste and add sugar if desired, then blend briefly to combine. Serve immediately while chilled or at room temperature.
Comments
Aamras is a five-minute mango puree, not ten—the stated time ignores that you'll spend several minutes peeling and pitting mangoes by hand. Mangoes themselves are reliably available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart year-round, but saffron forces a second stop; it's either Harris Teeter's international aisle or a trip to an Indian grocer. At roughly three dollars for the saffron alone, this three-serving dessert runs two dollars per serving before adding cardamom, ginger, and sugar. The dish itself is wonderful, pure mango with warm spice, and it does not require constant attention or special skill—just an honest expectation of real chopping time and a budget line for the saffron.
