Title: Aam Panna (Green Mango & Mint Drink)
Categories: Beverages, Indian
Yield: 6 Servings
5 Unripe green mangoes;
- up to 6
1 pn Asafetida (hing); scant
- (optional)
2 c Water
1/3 c Sugar; up to 1/2 c,
- or to taste
6 Fresh mint leaves; up to 7
1 sm Green chili (any mild
- variety will work)
1 Green cardamom pod
1/2 ts Roasted cumin powder; scant
1 ts Black salt (kala namak);
- to taste -OR-
1 ts Table salt; to taste
Water
Crushed ice; to garnish
Mint leaves; to garnish
Wash the mangoes and remove their tops, peel them. Place them in a
pressure cooker along with hing and 2 cups of water. Close the lid
and let cook on medium heat for 1 to 2 whistles. If you do not have a
pressure cooker, you can boil the mangoes in a pot until the flesh is
soft. Take off the heat and let cool down until okay to touch.
Meanwhile, finely chop the mint leaves and green chili. You can seed
the chili before chopping. Break open the cardamom pod and crush the
seeds in a mortar and pestle.
Once the mangoes have cooled a bit, add the sugar to the pot. Using
your hands squeeze the mangoes until all the flesh falls off and you
get hold of the seeds. Discard the seeds and any tough membranes. Add
finely chopped mint and chili and using your immersion blender, blend
everything. Ideally, the consistency of pana is not smooth, there is
mango flesh and bits of mint & chili suspended in the liquid.
Add the cardamom, cumin, kala namak, red chili powder. Mix thoroughly,
taste and adjust the salt. Transfer the contents to a beverage holder
or a jug and add top with water depending on how dilute you like it.
Chill thoroughly and serve with ice and mint leaves.
