Aam papad reminds me of my childhood days when I used to enjoy this sun dried dessert. Never thought that making it at home would be so easy.
Came across this recipe in some cookbook and after that I have tried this so many times and my family loved the prepared mango papad.
Mango papad is also known as Aamta in Assamese, amawat in Hindi, mamidi tandra in Telugu, aamsotto in Bengali and amba vadi in Marathi.
This mango dessert is usually sweet but can be transformed into different varieties. The same aam papad came be made into spicy aam papad just by adding rock salt and Black pepper.
Once prepared, it can be preserved for months and can be enjoyed later in off season of mangoes.
