Beat The Heat: How To Make Refreshing Aam Panna At Home

When summer hits hard, nothing feels more satisfying than a chilled glass of Aam Panna. This tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy raw mango drink not only quenches your thirst but also cools your body and revives your energy. Want to know how to make it at home? It’s super simple!

What You'll Need:

• 2 large raw mangoes (green and firm)
• 4 tbsp sugar or jaggery (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
• ½ tsp black salt
• A pinch of regular salt
• Fresh mint leaves (a handful)
• 2 cups chilled water
• Ice cubes (optional)

Step-by-Step Preparation:

1. Boil or Roast the Mangoes: Wash the raw mangoes and boil them in water until soft (about 10–15 minutes). Alternatively, you can roast them on an open flame for a smoky flavor.

2. Peel and Extract the Pulp: Once cooled, peel the mangoes and scoop out the soft pulp. Discard the seed.

3. Blend It All Together: In a blender, add the mango pulp, sugar (or jaggery), roasted cumin powder, black salt, regular salt, and mint leaves. Blend into a smooth paste.

4. Add Water: Pour in chilled water and blend again until everything mixes well. Adjust sugar and salt to your liking.

5. Serve Chilled: Pour into glasses, drop in some ice cubes, and garnish with mint leaves or a sprinkle of cumin powder.

Pro Tips:

• Store the concentrate in the fridge and dilute with water whenever you need a quick cooler.
• You can also freeze the mix into cubes and blend with water when needed.
