What Is Aamras (Aam Ras)

Aamras is smooth ripe mango puree. It is one of the most loved vegetarian recipes across Maharashtra and Gujarat. The word combines aam (mango) and ras (juice or essence). In Gujarati it is written કેરીનો રસ (kerī-no ras). In Marathi it is called aamras puri when served with deep-fried bread.

Maharashtrians begin making aamras at Gudi Padwa, the Marathi New Year, when the first large volumes of Alphonso mangoes arrive from Ratnagiri and Devgad in Konkan. Gujarati families often use Kesar mangoes and serve the puree with poori. Both versions are festival foods and everyday summer desserts.

1 Alphonso Mango Calories — Full Nutrition Facts

One medium Alphonso mango (approximately 150–200 g edible pulp) gives you 60–100 kcal. The exact number depends on size and ripeness. A fully ripe Alphonso from Devgad or Ratnagiri contains 16–22° Brix — this is natural fruit sugar, not added sugar.

Aam Calories — Why Alphonso Differs from Other Varieties

Alphonso mangoes carry higher natural sugar (Brix 16–22°) than common commercial varieties (Brix 12–14°). This means aam calories from an Alphonso are marginally higher per gram than a less ripe or inferior variety — but the payoff is far greater Vitamin C, beta-carotene and folate density. The calorie difference between one Alphonso and one ordinary mango of the same weight is typically fewer than 15 kcal.

Calories in 1 Whole Alphonso Mango by Size

Fruit Size	Approx. Edible Weight	Approx. Calories
Small (150 g whole)	~110 g	~66 kcal
Medium (200 g whole)	~150 g	~90 kcal
Large (250 g whole)	~190 g	~114 kcal

Alphonso mangoes are not available from July to February. We do not supply fresh Alphonso outside the March–June window. Canned mango pulp is available year-round for aamras.

1 Bowl Aamras Calories

How Many Calories in 1 Bowl of Aamras?

One standard serving bowl of plain aamras (approximately 150 ml or 170–180 g) made with Alphonso mango pulp contains roughly 100–130 kcal. The count rises if you add sugar, milk or cream.

Aamras Version	Serving (ml)	Calories (approx.)
Plain Alphonso aamras (no sugar)	150 ml	~100 kcal
Aamras with 1 tsp sugar added	150 ml	~120 kcal
Aamras with milk (Gujarati style)	150 ml	~140 kcal
Aamras with cream added	150 ml	~200+ kcal

Good-quality Alphonso pulp at 20° Brix needs no added sugar. The fruit's own sweetness is sufficient. This is why sourcing matters — a lower-Brix mango forces people to add sugar, raising calories unnecessarily.

Aamras Recipe — Step by Step

Aamras Recipe with Fresh Alphonso Mangoes

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 4 ripe Alphonso mangoes (Ratnagiri or Devgad, naturally ripened)
• 2–3 tablespoons cold water or cold milk (optional, to adjust consistency)
• A pinch of cardamom powder (elaichi)
• A pinch of dry ginger powder (soonth) — traditional Maharashtrian addition
• Sugar — only if your mangoes are under-ripe (good Alphonso needs none)

Method:

1. Wash and pat dry the mangoes. Rest at room temperature until fully ripe — the skin turns golden-yellow and the fruit gives slightly to gentle pressure.
2. Squeeze the mangoes gently all over with both hands to loosen the pulp inside.
3. Cut off the tip and squeeze the pulp directly into a bowl. Alternatively, peel and cube the flesh.
4. Blend smooth with a hand blender or mixer. Add cold water or milk one tablespoon at a time to reach a pourable consistency.
5. Add cardamom and dry ginger. Mix well.
6. Taste. Add sugar only if needed. A ripe Alphonso at 18 to 24° Brix will not need any.
7. Chill for 30 minutes. Serve with hot pooris or as a standalone dessert.

Aamras Recipe with Canned Alphonso Mango Pulp

Open a tin of Alphonso mango pulp. Pour into a bowl. Add cardamom powder, a pinch of dry ginger, and cold water to thin if required. Stir and serve chilled. This method takes under five minutes and delivers consistent sweetness and flavour all year round — not just during the March–June season.

Tips for Tasty and Healthy Aam Ras

• Use only carbide-free, naturally ripened Alphonso mangoes. Carbide-ripened fruit is pale inside and sour.
• Serve immediately after making. Aamras oxidises and darkens within 2–3 hours at room temperature.
• If adding milk, use chilled full-fat milk for a creamier mouthfeel without cream.
• Add saffron strands (kesar) soaked in warm milk for the Gujarati aamras style.
• Skip sugar entirely if your mangoes come from Prashant Powle's sourcing network across 48 Konkan villages — those mangoes are sweet enough by themselves.

Gujarati Aamras Recipe

Gujarati aamras uses Kesar mangoes from Saurashtra or Alphonso mangoes. The pulp is blended with a few tablespoons of warm milk and a few strands of saffron soaked in warm milk. Cardamom is added last. The result is richer and more golden than the Maharashtrian version. It is served with hot pooris and a smear of ghee. Gujaratis call this dish keri no ras or aam no ras.

How to Preserve Aamras

Refrigerator Storage

Fresh aamras stays good for 24–48 hours in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Keep it at 4°C or below. Stir before serving as separation occurs naturally.

Freezer Storage

Pour fresh aamras into ice cube trays or small airtight containers. Freeze immediately. Frozen aamras keeps for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Do not refreeze after thawing.

Aam Papad and Amba Poli

Aam papad (amba poli in Marathi) is dried aamras. Spread a thin layer of sweetened mango pulp on a flat surface lined with a plastic sheet. Dry in the sun for 2–3 days. The result is a chewy, tangy mango leather. This preserves the mango harvest well beyond the fresh season.

What Is the Brix Level of Devgad Alphonso?

Devgad Alphonso mangoes regularly test at 18 to 24° Brix at full ripeness. Brix measures dissolved sugar content. Anything above 18° Brix is considered premium eating quality. This is the highest consistent Brix range of any Indian mango variety grown at commercial scale.

Alphonso Mango and Aamras — Health Benefits

Vitamin C Content

One medium Alphonso mango provides 40–60 mg of Vitamin C — roughly 45–65% of the adult daily requirement. Vitamin C supports immunity and collagen synthesis. No supplement needed when fresh Alphonso is in season.

Beta-Carotene and Vitamin A

The deep saffron-yellow colour of Alphonso pulp signals high beta-carotene concentration. Beta-carotene converts to Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A supports eye health and immune function.

Dietary Fibre and Gut Health

Each 100 g of Alphonso pulp provides 1.6 g dietary fibre. Aamras made from whole fruit (not strained) retains this fibre. It supports digestive regularity. Canned mango pulp retains fibre if unpressed.

Folate for Pregnancy

Alphonso mango provides 43 µg folate per 100 g — about 11% of the recommended daily intake. Folate is critical in early pregnancy for neural tube development. A bowl of aamras is a pleasant way to contribute to daily folate intake during the March–June season.

Is Aam (Mango) Good for Diabetes?

Alphonso mango has a moderate glycaemic index (GI ~51–56). One small Alphonso (around 100 g pulp) fits within most diabetic meal plans as a portion-controlled fruit serving. Consult your physician regarding individual carbohydrate targets. Do not consume aamras with added sugar if managing blood glucose.
