7. RIPE MANGO AAM RAS WITH SPINACH PURI

Another dish claimed by both Gujarat and Maharashtra. I feel that the spinach puri rather than regular puris tasted better with the Aamras.

IngredientsFor Aamras:

• Ripe mangoes: 2 large
• Mixed nuts chopped fine : ¼ cup

For Spinach Puri:

• Wheat flour: 1 cup
• Spinach: ½ kg
• Coriander powder: 1 tsp
• Red chillipowder : ¼ tsp
• Ajwain( caraway seeds): ¼ tsp
• Turmeric powder : ¼ tsp
• Oil: 1tsp
• Salt to taste
• Oil for frying : 2 cups

Method for Aamras:

1. Peel and chop the mangoes into large pieces and make a puree.
2. Transfer into a bowl and sprinkle the nuts on top.
3. Chill for 2-3 hours.

Method for Spinach Puris:

1. Chop the spinach finely and boil till cooked. Strain to remove excess water. Keep aside.

2. Take wheat flour in a plate and add all the ingredients including the spinach and knead into a tight dough.

3. Use the spinach water if necessary.

4. Roll out small puris and deep fry.

5. Serve with the chilled Aamras.
