Aam Ras - Mango Smoothie


Mangoes are a very favorite fruit of our family and we love mangoes in all its forms : mango piclkes, raw mango salad and raita, raw mangoes in Dal and curry or the ripened fruit itself. Another very favourite of ours is Aam ras - Aam means mango and ras means pulp or juice. Aam ras is basically mango smothie. It is usually made with Gulab khas mangoes. Gulab khas mangoes are mangoes with a reddish hue and rosy aroma.

For making aam ras we need: 
Gulab khas aam ( Or any other sweet variety) : 1 kg
Sugar : To taste ( To be adjusted depending on the sweetness of the mangoes.)
Milk: 1/2 kg ( 500 gms)
The mangoes are to be cut and the stone has to be removed. This is to be blended with the sugar and milk and blended till smooth. The sweetness has to be tasted and adjusted. This is usually served chilled.


My family prefers to have this after meals for desert . May be had with luchi/ puris . In the villages of bengal this is also had with muri ( puffed rice) and khoi. 
Its a very easy recipe and I hope you like it. Wishing lots of happiness.... Moushumi
