- 5 medium size raw Mango
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1⅓ cups Sugar
- 4-5 Ice cube
- 2-3 cups Water for boiling
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp Fennel seeds
- Cold Water
- 7-8 Mint leaves
For Masala
- 2 tbsp Cumin seeds
- 5-6 Green Cardamom pods
- 14-16 Black peppercorns
- Salt to taste
Pour 2-3 cups of water and raw mango into a pressure cooker.
Cook the mango well for 1-2 whistles undercover in a pressure cooker.
Once cooled, remove the mango's skin.
Make sure the mango skin has separated before scraping the pulp.
Place the ginger in a bowl with the mango pulp.
Soak fennel seeds in water for a few minutes in a bowl.
For Masala
Add cumin seeds, green cardamom pods, black peppercorns, and salt to taste to a skillet and dry roast the ingredients until fragrant.
Transfer it to a grinder jar once it has cooled, then grind it into a fine powder.
Grind the raw mango pulp, ginger, and soaking fennel seeds into a paste in the same jar.
Blend in a few ice cubes, sugar, and mint leaves to create a smooth paste.
Place a couple of ice cubes and a teaspoon of aam panna concentrate in a tall glass to serve.
Add ice-cold water and stir thoroughly.
Enjoy the aam panna with fresh mint leaves as a final step.
- Mango peeling is optional. Mangoes can be cooked with their skin on. Squeeze the pulp and throw away the skin once they have been cooked. It gives the panna a very distinctive flavour. However, the process is made incredibly simple by peeling the skin before cooking.
- Add sugar or jaggery to aam ka panna recipes for a sweeter taste.
- Use coriander leaves to combine with the mango pulp in a mixer-grinder instead of the mint leaves. These fresh herbs can be added to aam panna to give it a new taste and flavour.
- Before cooking, thoroughly clean and wash the mangoes to avoid having a bitter or unpalatable aam panna.
- Aam panna should be eaten cooled for health advantages. Do not consume warm aam panna.
