Ingredients
- Mango - You can use either unripe green mangoes or ripen mangoes to make this recipe. Adjust the sweetener accordingly.
- Sweetener : If you use raw mango, you will need ½ cup extra sweetener. Since ripened mangoes are naturally sweet, you don't need much whereas, raw green mangoes need more sweetener. You can use jaggery powder or regular sugar.
- Flavoring : black salt this pinkish grey rather than black in color salt adds a very distinctive sulfurous mineral taste.
- Roasted cumin powder - adds robust earthy and smoky flavor notes.
- Pink salt : For garnishing the glass rim
- Paprika powder for glass rim garnish.
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves, jalapeño slices for garnish
- Optional : cardamom powder can be added for extra earthy flavors to this refreshing summer drink.
How to Make Aam Panna Drink
Carefully wash mangos and peel the skin. Boil the mangoes and sugar in water for 20 minutes in covered sauce pan until tender.
Allow the mangoes to cool down. Discard the mango seed at the center by giving the slits to the cooked mango. Mix everything well together.
Make aam panna concentrate : Place the pulp into a blender along with the 4 cups of water, black salt, roasted cumin powder and blend until smooth. Taste the drink and add more spices according to taste.
Moisten the rim of the glasses . In the plate, combine pink salt and paprika powder. Place each glass upside down on the plate so the rims gets coats of the salt paprika mixture.
Pour this drink into glasses with ice. Sprinkle cumin powder on top and garnish with a fresh sprig of mint and jalapeño slice! Enjoy chilled.
💡 Pro Tips
The cooked pulp or mango panna concentrate can be stored in the freezer for extended periods of time. You can always double the recipe for later use too.
You can add a dash of ginger syrup or a few slices of fresh ginger to the mocktail for an extra layer of flavor and a hint of spice.
Serving Ideas
I used one jalapeño slice in each drink to add a bit of spicy hot flavors . The tiny tickling tinge it adds is perfect for my taste. If you like it on the HOT side, then by all means, add more jalapeño slices!
The rim of this drink is a simple mixture of kosher salt and paprika powder. The paprika powder adds a beautiful color without extra spice and it complements all of the flavors of the drink perfectly.

Hello,
Do you use raw mango or ripe mangoes for this recipe?

I used both. Prefer it with slightly ripe mangoes. Fully ripe ones are lot sweeter so adjust sweetner accordingly
