Aam Ka (Panna) Pana | Refreshing Raw Mango Drink for Summers
Summers begin and my house is all flooded with loads of milkshakes, shorbet, summer coolers, mint ice tea and my traditional Aam Ka Panna. I and my kids like to have lots of liquids during the summers. So my focus shifts from cooking various dishes to making my kids happy by preparing variety of milkshakes and summer drinks.
As soon as the Mango season starts, I ensure to get lots of Raw Mangoes along with the Mangoes :) in my kitchen. It is such a delight to have this fruit every season. I love to make Aam ka Panna, instant Mango Pickle and the traditional Mango Punjabi Pickle every season. Also I like to add the raw Mango chunks in my dal and rice to enhance the flavor of the dish.
I have fond memories of having this drink and I use to enjoy my mom’s aam panna. She use to add little extra sugar for us with lots of mango pulp and less water. Her recipe was without the mint leaves, however now my son loves to have aam panna with the mint flavor so I prepare it as per his taste. You can always adjust the recipe according to your taste. It is easy and a quick summer drink with both sweet and tangy flavor. Also I remember my mom telling us that this drink helps you protect from too much heat.
So why wait, catch hold of some raw mangoes and there you go with a refreshing Mango Summer Cooler ~ Aam Ka Panna!!!!
