I love Aamras!! ~ Summer Delights

Its Mango season officially and who in the world is not excited about it?? As soon as we grab a piece of the the Oh-So-Delicious season delight, we fall in love with our childhood again!
The days of summer when we used to wear white clothes and sit with 3-4 mangoes and just keep eating till the fruits ended up making us drenched in it. The smell of mangoes never used to leave our clothes during summer.

It was almost a ritual that some dresses had to be turned yellow this season. The joy of dipping ripe mangoes in water for an hour or so  let them cool and then post-lunch hover into them like nothing else exists.

Its summer and its Aam-da-season! The television will once again be flooded with Maaza, Slice and Frooti advertisements. The markets and home will go crazy over mango sorbets, mango cakes, mango lassi, mango flavoured icecreams and our favourite aam pannas! And the most important thing was the mango-shake that mom used to make for dinner-desert.

So here is bringing to you that little childhood delight back, just for fun, in case you still don’t know how to make that perfect Mango-shake or what we fondly call it as Aamras!

Ingredients

3 ripe mangoes

½ cup sugar

3 cups milk (chilled)

Method

1. Peel off the mangoes and take out the pulp.
2. Now take the pulp into a blender and add the sugar into it. Blend the pulp and sugar till it becomes smooth.
3. Now add milk and blend it again.
4. When the milk has properly mixed with the pulp, take out and strain it through a net vessel to remove extra fiber.
5. Keep in the fridge to chill it.
6. Pour it in a glass and add some mango cubes to it. Serve!

Undoubtedly Aamras is the most loved dessert we have during summers. The leftover aamras can further be ppoured in ice-cubes tray and put in deep refrigerator to turn it into an ice-cream! it tastes equally awesome! If you have something in mind, share with me your Aamras story! Would love to hear it from you all :)
