- 2 tbsp Clarified Butter for frying

- Refrigerate the Aamras for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Make the Puris

- Roll out small portions of the dough into thin, round circles (about 4 inches in diameter).
- Heat ghee or oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place puris in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and puffed up, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Remove puris and drain on paper towels.
Serve
- Serve the chilled Aamras with warm, freshly fried puris. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Aamras and Puri
- For the richest flavor, use Alphonso mangoes, known for their sweetness and aroma.
- If your mangoes aren't very sweet, increase the sugar accordingly. Taste and adjust to your preference.
- Don't over-blend the aamras, or it may become watery. A slightly chunky texture is delightful.
- For extra crispy puris, use a combination of ghee and oil for frying. Ensure oil is hot enough before adding puris.
