Jaggery — The sweet taste of jaggery will help lighten the bitter taste of the raw mangoes. It is used as a healthy alternative to sugar. Besides that, jaggery lends a beautiful caramel-golden shade to this drink. Mint — Fresh mint deepens the flavor of aam ka panna and takes this recipe’s flavor a notch up, adding its unique freshness and medicinal value.
Ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency — Boiling the mangoes is an essential step to soften the raw mangoes’ texture and extract the maximum pulp. Boiling also allows the mangoes to release their flavors and removes the extra tartness. It also helps the fruit’s natural sweetness to emerge, resulting in a more flavorful concoction. You can also slice or chop the mangoes to speed up the process. An essential step — This drink is best enjoyed when it has a smooth and creamy consistency. Extracting the raw mango pulp after boiling the fruit is crucial while preparing this drink. Peel the mangoes after boiling and pulse the fruit’s flesh into smaller pieces after removing the fibrous core. Keep a fine-mesh strainer handy to remove the mango fibers from the pulp and ensure the aam panna is free from any fibers. Add water to adjust the consistency — Enjoy this delicious drink by keeping the consistency according to your liking. If you like a thicker consistency, reduce the water quantity to 4 cups. Add more water for a drink with a thinner consistency.
Choices for sweetening the aam panna — Both sugar and jaggery can be used to enhance this delicious drink, depending on your preference. While sugar provides a sweeter taste, jaggery adds a rich caramel-like flavor and a deeper hue. However, ensure that the sweeteners are pulsed in the blender before water is added to it. This will provide a homogeneous mixture with sweetness shining through.
