Aam Papad Langra (ল্যাংড়া আমসত্ত)
Langra mango originates in Varanasi, India. But it is widely produced in Bengal too. It produces very good Aam Papad or Aamsotto because of its fleshy and juicy characteristics. Aam Papad Langra has a chewy and leathery texture that would remind you of the days when the same used to be left on the roof. The complete gang of cousin-brothers and sisters would stay alert and utilise every opportunity when the elders were not watching. Stealing the still-raw Aamsotto and having it before anyone sees was nothing less of an adventure. Let yourself return to those nostalgic days with pure, chemical and preservative-free Aam Papad Langra from Polli Gram.

The sundrying process evaporates the moisture from the mango pulp. So, keeping it in the open air would attract moisture again, leading to spoilage. Using airtight containers is the best. |
