Print Recipe

A refreshing and tangy Indian raw mango drink that cools you down during hot summer days with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium raw mangoes
  • 1 tablespoon roasted cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon regular salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or jaggery powder
  • A small handful of fresh mint leaves
  • 4 cups (1 liter) cold water
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 medium raw mangoes and place them in a saucepan. Cover with water and boil for about 10-12 minutes or until the mangoes are soft and peelable. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Peel the mangoes and scoop out the pulp into a bowl. Discard the skin and seeds.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon cumin seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and slightly darker (about 2 minutes). Let cool, then grind to a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
  4. In a blender, combine the mango pulp, roasted cumin powder, 1 teaspoon black salt, 1/2 teaspoon regular salt, 1/2 cup sugar or jaggery, and a handful of fresh mint leaves. Add about 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water and blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blended mixture into a pitcher and add the remaining 3 cups (720 ml) of cold water. Stir well and taste; adjust sweetness or salt if needed.
  6. Add ice cubes to glasses and pour the aam panna over. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a pinch of roasted cumin if desired.

Notes

Roasting cumin seeds fresh enhances flavor significantly. Adjust sweetness and salt to taste. For a pulp-free drink, strain the blended mixture before adding water. Use jaggery for a richer sweetness. Store in airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days. Serve chilled over ice.
