“Life of Alphonso Mango” || Maharashtra Traditional Life || Village Cooking || Red Soil Stories

Episode 4

Namaste, Greetings from Shirish & Pooja.

Welcome to a new story of “Alphonso Mango" (हापूस आंबा).
As it is said that mango is the "King of Fruits", but we Maharashtrian people believe that "Alphonso Mango" is the “King of Kings". "Devgad Alphonso Mango" (देवगड हापूस) is a well-known and most liked variety of Mango in Maharashtra. April and May are the peak of harvesting season of this variety of Mango.

Me and Pooja went to our uncle's farm to get some "Alphonso Mangoes” this Season. He was very generous and let us pluck lots of mangoes which we brought home and Kept for Ripening in the hey.

It took 7 days for the mangoes to fully ripped and ready to be eaten and for making some delicious recipes.
Soham, our uncle's son is still here for his vacation. He loves mangoes very much. To start with, we had few mango slices and they were heavenly sweet. We enjoyed the "Alphonso mangoes" to the fullest..

Generally we enjoy eating mangoes as it is but it has become a Tradition of Maharashtra to prepare "Aamras Puri" (Sweet Mango dessert & Puffed bread) (आमरस पुरी) in the mango Season. Pooja kneaded the dough for Puri and while it was resting she prepared Aamras (आमरस).

Just before the lunch she fried the "Puri" (Puffed bread) and we had "Aamras Puri" as our main course. Meanwhile Soham liked the Aamras and asked for few “Alphonso Mangoes” for his friend in Mumbai.
After lunch Pooja took the leftover Aamras and started preparing “Aamba Poli" (Dried mango squash). It is a traditionally made sweet-savoury flat candy often prepared in Southern region of Maharashtra especially "Kokan". It takes about 6-7 days to dry up the spread pulp and we get a flat candy after this. We can see the Dried Squash at the end of this Video.
Just after this, to add the flavours in the lunch menu Pooja decided to prepare “Mango Lassi". It is an easy to make recipe and a good dessert after meal.

“Mango lassi” was loaded with fresh curd, dry fruits. "Alphonso Mango" on the top. We were all packed till neck and Pooja wanted to add one more Sweet in this dessert odyssey.

“Aamba Naral Vadi" (Mango Coconut dessert), it is also a Traditionally Made sweet in kokan region. The recipe looks simple but can go wrong if you miss the right time to take down the heat and dry it flat it as Soon as possible. Later that evening Pooja Scraped the "Aamba naral vadi" and kept them in the box.

Remember we had kept "Aamba-Poli" ( Dried Mango Squash) for drying? Cut to 7 days and it is all dried and ready to peel and kept for eating. The good thing about this Squash is that the shelf-life of it is Six months to an year when kept in cool and dry place.

There are many recipes that can be made from “Alphonso Mangoes" hope we will try few more next time. Till then please let us know which part of the video you liked by Commenting below.

मी जेव्हा Liziqui & purna the natural girl च्या व्हिडिओ बघायचे तेव्हा वाटायचं की आपल्या महाराष्ट्रातून ही अशा व्हिडिओ बनवल्या पाहिजेत, , , ,
तुमच्या व्हिडिओ बघून खूप आनंद
तुमचं घर, किचन खूप मस्त
महाराष्ट्रीयन कोकणी संस्कृती चे दर्शन तुमच्या व्हिडिओ चा माध्यमातून

सामान्य कोकणी माणसाच्या गावाकडल्या आठवणींना उजाळा देताय. सादरीकरण मनाला भुरळ पाडणारं, गावाकडे साद घालणारं😊 . मस्तच👌🏻
तुम्हाला पुढील वाटचालीस खूप खूप शुभेच्छा✌

शुद्ध सात्विक खाण्यापिण्याच्या बाबतीतही माझी भारतीय संस्कृती किती तरी पटींनी पुढे आहे, खरच धन्य ती... 🙏

[harshat]

तुमच्या या जीवना पुढे व रहाणीमानापुढे
करोंडोंचे बंगले, उंची पक्वान्ने, सोने नाणे, ऐशोआराम सारं सारं फीकं पडेल ताई.
खुप खुप सुखी समाधानी आयुष्य जगताय. आणि तुमची मुलं सुध्दा अशीच साधी सुधी परंपरा जपणारी आणि समाधानी रहाणारी होतील. त्यांना मराठी शाळेतच घाला. खरं जीवन जगणं कशाला म्हणतात हे शिकवा.
दुनियेच्या खोट्या झगमगाटापासून अलिप्त ठेवा. माणूस बनवा.
प्रसिद्ध व्यक्ति सगळेच असतात.
पण माणूस कोणी नसतं.
