Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 3 - 4 Kiwi
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar or jaggery powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
  • ¼ Cup fresh mint leaves
  • ¼ Cup water

Instructions

  • Make a cross or an ‘x’ mark using a sharp serrated knife on top of the crown area of each kiwi.
  • To roast the kiwi, keep them directly over the stovetop flame or use a wire mesh. You can roast them on a bbq grill as well. Roast the kiwi until the outer brown skin is charred and black spots appear. Keep on turning them while roasting. 
  • Transfer the roasted kiwi to a bowl of cold water. This step helps to remove the skin of the roasted kiwi easily. Remove and discard the charred skin of each kiwi.
  • Add all ingredients (roasted kiwi, salt, cumin powder, jaggery, mint, and water) to a blender jar. Blend to a smooth consistency. Taste, and if required, add more sugar or seasoning.
  • Kiwi Panna concentrate is ready.
  • To serve Kiwi Ka Panna, in a serving glass, add ¼ Cup of panna and filled the glass with water. Stir to combine. Add ice cubes. Serve Kiwi Ka Panna chilled.

Notes

  • Do not blend the ingredients for too long, as the heat generated by the blender might make the kiwi taste bitter and turn the colour of the mint leaves black.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar per personal taste preference and the tartness of kiwi.
  • This recipe yields very thick kiwi panna concentrate, to get the desired drinking consistency add ice cold water.
