What is Aam Poori?

Poori is deep-fried flatbread prepared using whole wheat flour. Generally, it is lightly seasoned with salt and flavored with carom seeds, etc. However, during summers when mangoes are available in abundance, I like to try different recipes using the same. And lately, I tried making aam poori. Aamras i.e. thick mango juice or mango puree and poori are a great and a very popular combination in itself. I tried to combine these two to make the aam poori. Aam poori, as the name suggests, has the flavor of aam or mangoes. Mango pooris are pleasantly sweet with the very complimentary taste of saffron. These can be served with jeera aloo or simple raita.
