Ingredients
Mango Preparation
- 2 Mangoes alphonso or similar variety recommended, ripe
Sweetening and Seasoning
Optional Additions
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice enhances flavor, freshly squeezed
- 1/4 tsp Chili Powder for a spicy kick, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Mango Pulp
- Puree the ripe mangoes until completely smooth. Strain the pulp to remove any fibers for a smoother texture.
Combine Ingredients
- In a non-stick saucepan, combine the mango puree, sugar, black salt, lemon juice (if using), and chili powder (if using).
Cook the Mixture
- Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens significantly and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. The consistency should be similar to a very thick jam.
Dry the Aam Papad
- Pour the cooked mixture onto a lightly oiled plate or parchment paper. Spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Sun-Drying or Fan-Drying
- Leave the mixture to dry completely. This can be done in direct sunlight (best) for several hours, turning it occasionally, or using a low-speed fan for a longer drying period (approximately 12-24 hours). Ensure the Aam Papad is completely dry and firm to the touch before cutting.
Cut and Serve
- Once completely dry, cut the Aam Papad into small squares or desired shapes. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Aam Papad
- Mango Selection: Use very ripe mangoes for the best flavor and sweetness. Alphonso mangoes are ideal.
- Consistency is Key: Ensure the mixture is cooked long enough to reach a thick, jam-like consistency. Undercooked Aam Papad will not dry properly.
- Drying Time: Drying time will depend on the humidity and temperature. Check regularly and adjust drying method as needed.
- Storage: Store your Aam Papad in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for several weeks.
