Ingredients:

• Mango (Ripen): 8 no. (1 ½ kg)

Here I used Hapus (alphonso) mango so there was no need of sugar, if you will use another mango, use sugar as per your taste.

1. Peel off mangoes, cut into pieces, discard seeds, and put the pulp in to blending jar, blend it till fine paste. Keep aside.

Method:

1. Take out the paste into a cooking pan, cook the pulp till it boils, and stir continuously.
2. Cook this about 10-12 minutes till it becomes one forth, pour the cooked mango pulp on the greased Thali and form thin layer like paratha (if needed roll by rolling pin, Aam papad (Mango fruit leather/dried mango pulp) is ready.
3. Keep this into fridge/sunlight for 2-3 days. I keep it in fridge to avoid dirt and dust.
4. Cut this with help of sharp knife into your desired shape, you can store this in fridge for longer period.
5. Note: use ripe mango, which is sweet enough!
