#week5of5 - In this ongoing mango season, treat yourself to this yummy chilled dessert this summer in the comfort of your home with your loved ones. It is a very simple dessert where I made few pakoras / fritters out of mango scoops in a paniyaram chatti and then served in a bowl of aam ras (mango pulp).

Basically aam ras is very popular in Gujarat and Maharashtra where it is served as it is or with poori, called aam ras poori. So why not relish this innovative recipe with some mango pakoras for a change? It is simply awesome. So do give it a try and I'm sure you will not be disappointed.
