AAM PANNA

Aam Panna is the utmost refreshing drink during summers. Once you get a taste of Aam Panna you sure would not prefer to have any store bought drinks to cool yourself.
 Aam Panna is one summer cooler that I remember having every year during summers. It keeps the body cool prevents you from heat stroke.
Aam panna is made of raw mangoes and the sweet and sour(khatta meetha) taste of Aam Panna will not let you stop after having one glass.
This is my mother's recipe that I'm sharing with you all, I'm sure you all are going to love it. The best part is it is home made and natural so  no artificial flavourings, so go ahead and enjoy the healthy and natural, sweet and sour Aam Panna.

INGREDIENTS

for aam panna
3 Medium sized raw mangoes (kachcha aam)
1/4 cup mint leaves (pudina)
3/4 cup sugar adjust according to your taste
2 tea spoons black salt (kala namak)
2 tea spoons roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera masala)



METHOD

1. Wash and peel the raw mangoes. Cut the mangoes and remove all the pulp.
2. Take water in a pan, add the raw mangoes and boil them till they turn soft and mushy.
3. Cool the mangoes, then add them to a mixer jar along with mint (pudina) leaves and sugar.You can even add black salt and roasted cumin(bhuna jeera) powder at this point. Blend it all together to a smooth paste.
4. Pass it through a sieve to get a smooth concentrated mix. I usually add water at this point to adjust the consistency and check the taste for black salt and sugar. Some people store it in concentrated form and add water at the time of serving. You can even make ice cubes of aam panna and store them in the freezer. At the time of serving take out two cubes add them to a glass of water and serve chilled. If storing in diluted form store the aam panna in bottles and keep it in the fridge to use within 3-4 days.
