Aamras / Mavina Hannu Seekarne is a popular sweet dish made with mangoes. It is usually served with puris.

Mango is the king of fruits and loved by one and all. We make numerous dishes with mango but nothing is as good as eating the fruit itself. In the order, Aam Ras or Mavina Hannina Seekarne unanimously comes next. I realised, I have not put this one on my blog and  with this it’s a adieu to mango, until the next season arrives.

Monsoon has started in most parts of India and it means the end of mangoes for the year.                    Amba bhaat, mango panna cotta and sunshine drink were the recipes of mango I posted earlier this year. Mango is the only fruit which everyone loves but available only once a year. The summers get better as everyone waits for the mangoes.

Since time immemorial, mavina hannina seekarne / aam ras is cherished by everyone. It is one of the essentials in most households during summer season. It pairs well with chapati or puri. It is also served with obbattu (holige) as a festive sweet.

I have vivid memories about the mango season. We used to get good fruits from the farm and enjoyed them. Now, I have a couple of trees at home.

Aam Ras is made in different ways in different parts of the country. In Karnataka, a little milk  is added to it. In coastal karnataka, coconut is ground with cardamom and sugar to give a good taste. In Gujarat, it is known  as keri no ras and  no milk is added in it.

How to extract the pulp?

There are two methods : Traditional and Modern

Traditional Method

The traditional method is to squeeze the pulp using hands. It is the best way to make it and tastes magical. The process is cumbersome, one has to wash the fruits, soften them, extract the pulp, if needed put the seed in some milk, one can extract again from it. The skin is discarded, the seeds too are discarded, but few people  serve them along. They love eating from it.

The Modern Method

The fruit is cut into cubes and then blended. This is simplified version is all that I can say. But, if one needs the real taste, follow the traditional method and do not blend it later.

• The quantity of jaggery used depends on the sweetness of the mangoes.
• Addition of salt is also optional. It gives a good taste.
