Indian Summer & Mango Panna…
When we talk about the heat then I must warn you against the brutal Indian summer. It is hot, dry, and requires a lot of energy to deal with. In such a scenario, homemade drinks like aam ka panna help beat the heat with so much deliciousness.
There are two methods for preparing the Mango Panna by Cooker Or Roasting .
Pressure Cooker Method: Pressure cook the mangoes over medium heat for 2 – 3 whistles along with water. Remove the stone, if any, in the mangoes. Allow the mango pulp to cool. Blend together the mango pulp, sugar, salt, spices, and mint until smooth.
Roasting Method: Wash and wipe the raw mangoes. Now, you can roast them directly over the gas stove flames or on the barbecue grill. Once that is done, get rid of the charred/black mango skin and the stone. Collect the pulp in a bowl. Blend it with sugar, spices, and mint leaves. The mango panna has a smokey taste from roasting.
Roasting method gives the more intense taste to mango pulp. I have tried the roasting process with kiwi ka panna, prepared last summer. And needless to say, it was delicious! In my opinion, if you prefer that smokey flavor and aroma, go for the roasting method. Else, my pressure cooker method is highly time-saving.
I prepared this with the Roasting Method.
