How to Make Mango Sweet Puri (Aam Puri)
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, semolina (if using), jaggery, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add the fresh Malda Mango pulp and ghee.
Mix everything together to form a soft, smooth dough. If needed, add a small amount of flour or mango pulp to achieve the right consistency.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Shape the Puris
Divide the dough into small equal portions.
Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then flatten and roll it into a small round puri using a rolling pin.
Avoid making the puris too thin, as they may not puff properly.
Step 3: Fry the Puris
Heat oil or ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully slide one puri into the hot oil.
Press gently with a slotted spoon until it puffs up.
Flip and cook both sides until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 4: Serve
Serve the Mango Sweet Puris warm.
Garnish with powdered sugar, chopped pistachios, or saffron strands if desired.

Using naturally ripened Malda Mangoes also reduces the need for additional sweeteners, allowing the fruit’s natural sweetness to shine through.
