Equipment

  • 1 Blender

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes Champagne (Ataulfo), Kesar or Alphonso varieties
  • ½ tsp dry ginger powder, saffron strands or cardamom powder optional flavors (mix and match if you want more than one flavor, I prefer using one of these)
  • 1 tbsp milk or water optional if you wish to change consistency

Instructions

  • Peel mangoes and cut pieces of mango into chunks.

Notes

Freezing: To freeze aamras (pureed mangoes) just put it into either a freezer safe container or freezer safe zip-loc bag.  If using a freezer safe bag, I like to fill the bags and stack them flat so it is easier to store in the freezer. Stores for 4-5 months.
