Calories: 124kcal
Equipment
- 1 Blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 4 ripe mangoes
- a splash of milk or water if needed
Optional Toppings:
- dried ginger powder
- salt or black salt
- ghee
Instructions
- Peel and chop the mangoes. Cut off as much of the pulp as you can from the core.
- Toss the chopped mangoes into a food processor or blender and process until pureed. Add a splash of milk or water if the blender needs a little help getting started.
- Strain the mango puree using a mesh strainer. (This step is optional but you’ll be glad you did it if your mangoes are fibrous)
- Serve with the toppings on the side so that each person can add as much ghee, ginger and salt as desired.
Notes
Ras works best if you use one of these mango varietals that are not too fibrous. In the U.S. we use Kent, in India we use Pyree, Kesar or a mix of Pyree and Alphonso.
