Aam Ras
Aam ras is a favourite Indian summer dish that's made by blending ripe mangoes with saffron and cardamom to produce a puree that's light, flavourful and perfect with puris or chapatis

Notes
- Alphonso and Kesar mangoes are used for the most authentic taste which may be replaced with any sweet, juice variety. But avoid using mangoes that are too fibrous as they do not blend well.
- Aamras is best served chilled and pairs really well with puris or chapatis for a sweet-savoury combo
