Aamras

Sometime back I had made “aamras”, not knowing the original name I was thinking hard on what to name- the pure and ultimate mango drink. Thanks to one of my dear colleague and friend who talked about “aamras” and its method of preparation. So suddenly, I had a name “aamras”- a dish very popular in Gujarat and Maharashtra.  It is also an attractive feature of the traditional Gujarati and Marathi thalis. I am amazed at the rate at which I am now discovering about different cuisines and the cultural feel that underlines them. Funnily, I had made “aamras” to go along with pizza- Now the traditionalist would be laughing aloud. But I did like the combination- So here is the part of the combo “aamras” recipe for you.
