Chef's Tips
Aamras Puri is a festive treat in Maharashtra, especially during mango season (April–June).
Alphonso (Hapus) mangoes are essential — their incomparable sweetness and fragrance cannot be replicated.
The puri dough must be stiff — a soft dough absorbs too much oil.
Do not heat the aamras — it's the contrast of hot crispy puri with cold, sweet aamras that makes this dish.
