Looking for a refreshing drink to beat the heat? Here's a tasty aam panna recipe from 'The Tastes of India' podcast on Audible.
2 pieces of raw mango 1 tsp of roasted cumin powder 1 tsp of black salt 4 tsp of salt 4 cups of water
First of all, rinse and then wipe dry the mangoes. Then on a gas stove top, you can keep a roti or papad rack and place the mangoes on top of it. Turn them at regular intervals to ensure that they are uniformly roasted and cooked.
The peels should get char. It will look black in colour but don’t worry because we are anyways going to peel all of that off.
Slid a knife along one of the sides to check for the doneness, If the knife goes in freely without any resistance and then when you pull it back, it comes out easily, then the mango is roasted well.
Now, set aside the roasted mangoes to cool at room temperature. If you want it to cool faster then you can soak them in water for a couple of minutes before peeling.
Remove the burnt peels after they are cold and move the cooked mango pulp directly into a bowl. With a sharp-edged spoon or knife, you can scrap the peels as well because there will be a lot of chunks of mangoes sticking to the peel.
Once done, you can add black salt, salt, and roasted cumin powder to it and mix everything really well. You can use a whisker to do that or you can even use a spoon.
Next, add about 4 cups of water and mix everything well. The amount of water will entirely depend upon the type of consistency that you want.
Once you’ve added the water, mix everything well, then add a little sugar to it. If you want to add powdered jaggery, you can use that as well, and then mix it once again.
Your aam ka panna is ready to be served.
