Aam ka panna

Aam ka panna is a popular drink of Maharastrians. I was first exposed to this drink on my daughter’s first birthday in Mumbai.My sister in law had prepared this for the guests which became a super hit.With scorching heat of summer and mangoes in season,this is the best drink to quench the thirst.But the twist here is, raw mangoes are used in the recipe instead of ripe and that gives the punch of khatta meeta(sweet and sour) flavour.I prepare this every year during the mango season.The mangoes used here is home factory grown  and that gives a personal touch to the recipe.Jaggery may be used instead of sugar in the same recipe,Adjust spice and sweetness as per your personal taste.If you want it to be sour,reduce the sweetness and vice versa.







Ingredients:
Raw mangoes-2,big ones
Sugar-1  1/2 cups approx
Roasted cumin powder-1/4 tsp
Kala namak-a pinch
Water- 3-4 cups for the pulp

  5. Blend it the blender along with the sugar and water as much as needed and make a thick pulp.
