What to pair it with

Puri

A classic pairing for Aam Ras is hot and fluffy puris, creating a delightful combination of sweet and savoury flavours. The crispy texture of puris complements the creamy richness of Aam Ras perfectly, making it a popular choice for festive occasions and special celebrations.

Plain yogurt or dahi

For a refreshing and balanced meal, pair Aam Ras with plain yoghurt or dahi. The tanginess of yoghurt helps cut through the sweetness of Aam Ras, creating a harmonious contrast of flavours. Enjoy them together as a light and satisfying summer snack or dessert.

Fried or roasted papad

Add a crunchy element to your Aam Ras experience by pairing it with fried or roasted papad. The crispy texture and subtle flavour of papad complement the creamy sweetness of Aam Ras, creating a delightful balance of textures and tastes.
