Learn how to make Mango flavored Indian bread, Aam ki Puri recipe - so delicious and easy. Quick breakfast recipe of mango poori.
While the summer and the juicy mangoes last, I am going to post as many mango recipes as possible every week. I keep trying new mango things every weekend and it seems I have to keep up with the posting part, as much as the cooking/trying part. Next in my Mango series this year is Aam Ki Puri or Mango Poori 🙂
For the last two years, I have been wanting to try out Aam Ki Puri and somehow it was not happening. In north of India, Puri with Aamras is a delicious and popular combination. While it is a regular at our house too, it sadly never appeared here. Last weekend as I was raking my brain on what to make for breakfast, I looked at the mangoes and viola, I knew!
Usually Aamras (Aam + Ras meaning Mango + Juice) is served with deep fried Indian bread, Pooris. I wanted to further explore the mango flavor and thus, decided to make the Mango flavored Poori or Aam ki Puri. These Pooris have a mild sweetness to them and we just couldn’t keep our hands off of them, hot from the stove. Aam Ki Puri really doesn’t need any accompaniment but wait till I post about this amazing Aamras recipe, you just can’t stop eating I swear!
How to make Aam Ki Puri | Mango Poori
📖 Recipe
Aam Ki Puri | Mango Poori Recipe
MEASUREMENT
1 cup = 250ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- ½ cup Thick Mango Pulp (I used Alphonso)
- Generous Pinch of Cardamom Powder
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- Salt as needed
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour along with salt, sugar, cardamom powder and mango pulp.
- Gently mix everything together and knead it into a soft, pliable dough. Add few drops of oil on top and set it aside for 5 mins.
- Heat oil for deep frying and meanwhile, make 12 equal sized balls out of the prepared dough.
- Dust a ball of dough slightly in flour and roll it into a circle.
- As the oil heats up, set the flame on medium and gently drop one poori at a time, for frying.
- Quickly push oil to the top of the poori from the sides and press it gently at the center until it puffs up.
- Turn it to the other side and fry for few seconds.
- Remove and strain off extra oil.
- Serve hot with Aamras!
Note –
- For best taste and color, use Alphonso mangoes.
- To make thick mango pulp, remove the skin off the mangoes. Cut into slices and blend until smooth.
- Depending on the sweetness of the mangoes, add extra 1 teaspoon of sugar.
- As there is sugar/sweetness in the dough, it is not recommended to leave the dough for long as it tends to become too soft/wet. It absorbs more oil that way.
