Ingredients

  • 1 Raw / Green Mango
  • 1.5 cups Water 1 cup for pressure cooking + ½ cup for the concentrate + water as required for the drink
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • Salt a pinch
  • 1 tsp Black Salt
  • ½ tsp Jal Jeera Masala
  • Mint leaves - for garnishing
  • Ice cubes - as required

Instructions

Prep Work

  • Chop the raw mangoes roughly. Discard the seed and remove the tough part around it. I included that part too, but it did not blend well. And those are the chunks that you can see in the picture.
  • Add 1 cup of water and pressure cook for two whistles, or you can cook on stop top too until the mango is soft and tender.
  • Let it cool.

Steps

  • Scoop out the pulp from the boiled mangoes and blend them nicely using a hand mixer or in a mixer.
  • Add this puree along with half cup of water into pan or pot.
  • Add the sugar and combine well. Now cook this over medium flame until the sugar is all dissolved and mix slightly thickens for about 10 to 12 minutes. I did not wait for single string consistency but make sure you do not overcook it.
  • After 10 to 12 minutes, turn the heat off and let this mix cool.
  • Then add the salt, black salt, and Jal jeera masala and mix well.
  • That's it the Aam Panna concentrate is ready. Serve in an airtight container and refrigerate it.

Serving

  • Add about 2 tbsps of Aam Panna concentrate into the serving glass and add water and ice cubes. Mix it well and add some mint leaves and serve cold.

Notes

  • The amount of sugar entirely depends upon the sourness of the mango. So adjust accordingly.
  • The same goes for the spice mix too. There is no set amount. Adjust the spices as per your preference.
  • As I mentioned in the prep work, remove any tough part from mango. I went ahead with that but ended with small chunks.
  • Refrigerate the aam panna for longer shelf life.
  • Also while serving, adjust the amount of Aam Panna concentrate as per your preference.
  • Instead of jal jeera masala, you can use roasted cumin powder and black pepper combination.
