Boil raw mangoes in the pressure cooker till soft. You can steam them or boil in a closed pan too. Remove the pulp and discard the peel and seed. Mash the pulp nicely. If it is very fibrous, you may sieve it.
Now add jaggery powder or sugar to the raw mango pulp. Add black salt, normal salt and cumin powder. Add a few mint leaves say about 1 tbsp. Blend together for 2 pulses.
This is your aam panna concentrate. Pour about 2-3 tbsp. of concentrate in a glass. Top with 3-4 ice cubes and water. Garnish with mint leaves and serve chilled.
Your delicious aam panna is ready to serve.
Notes
I love using jaggery as it is preferable to processed sugar. Currently I have some lovely organic jaggery at home. But you can easily use normal sugar or brown sugar. If you use brown sugar/jaggery, your aam panna will be brown in colour.
The concentrate keeps easily for about a week in the fridge. It does not last that long though.
This sweet sour mango cooler is tasty and also keeps your body cool in summers. You may also add soda instead of the water for a frizzy natural twist. This easily beats your colas both in nutrition and taste. Try it.
