We aren’t enjoying much of summer in North India. But one thing that cheers us up is a good summer drink like aam panna. Because only a real and natural coolant can quench your thirst during the warm, dusty summer afternoon. With the bottle of aam panna concentrate sitting in the fridge, I am always excited about the delicious sips that await me as soon I reach home. It is indeed a blessing that we can bottle up this mango drink and enjoy it for an extended period. All you need to do is pour a glass of chilled pudina aam panna, sit on your couch and relax. There’s nothing quite like a classic aam ka panna made with few simple everyday ingredients – mango pulp, mint leaves, black salt, sugar and cumin powder.
I think the summer and the mango season both celebrate each other perfectly. The aam panna recipe shared below is one quick method to make the drink. We have used the pressure cooker to soften the raw mango pulp. Many recipes suggest the roasting method for the more intense taste of mango pulp. I have tried the roasting process not with aam panna but with kiwi ka panna, prepared last summer. And needless to say, it was equally delicious too! Who could have thought that the tropical fruits like kiwi and mango can be turned into such tasty summer coolers?

What are some yummy recipes using raw mangoes?
In India, raw mangoes are profoundly used in everyday meals and curries. From chutney to drink and dals, during the summer season, raw mangoes are creatively used in many Indian dishes. Here are few raw mango recipes you might like to try apart from aam ka panna:
Aam Panna Recipe – Two Ways
The aam panna can be prepared following two methods. The first one is the pressure cooker method which is explained in the amm panna recipe below. The second one if the roasting method. In case you are curious to try the roasting method to make aam panna, let me explain it to you.
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 mango skin and the stone. Collect the pulp in a bowl. And blend it with sugar, spices, and mint leaves. The rest of the process is very similar to the one shared below. Only during the initial phase, we are roasting the mango pulp instead of pressure cooking to get the smoked flavour in the mango panna.
I think I will leave that choice to you, whether to roast or pressure cook. But trust me, either ways at the end you will sip a delicious – aam ka panna.
