Aamras is a sweet dish featuring in the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent and made from the pulp of the mango fruit. The pulp of a ripe mango is extracted, usually by hand, and is consumed together with pooris or chapati . Sometimes ghee and milk are added to the pulp to enhance its flavour. Sugar is also added to adjust the sweetness. It is often had at celebrations and weddings with cardamon and chopped fruits.
A regional version of aamras is a popular dessert in Rajasthani cuisine and Marwari, Marathi, and Gujarati homes, especially during festivities.
Since the fruit is seasonal, being harvested at the end of summer, the need to preserve the fruit in the form of pulp has given rise to a moderately large mango-processing industry.
