  • handful of fresh mint leaves plus more to garnish
  • zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon chaat masala or Bengali Bhaja Moshla
  • ¼ cup Sugar (it depends on how sour the mangoes are and how much tart or sweet you prefer)
  • 1 tablespoon black salt (can be substituted with normal salt)

Instructions
 

  • Char the green mangoes in open fire. This is typically done for the subtle smoky flavor. You can also choose to boil or steam the mango.
  • Once done, cool completely and then peel the skin off.
  • In a blender, squeeze the pulp of the mango. To that add the black salt, sugar, the spiced powder, and fresh mint. Blend to make the concentrated purée. Taste, and you may want to add more sugar or salt based on how you like the taste.
  • Store the purée in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator.
  • To prepare the Aam Panna drink or Aam Poda Shorbot.
  • In a glass add a couple spoons of the mango concentrate, some ice cubes, lemon wedges and pour either cold water, sweet soda or sparkling water.

Notes

The concentrated aam panna will stay fresh in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. You can also mix it with water and store in a big jar.
The concentrate might settle at the bottom of the jar, which you might have to stir before serving.
That will also stay fresh in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. Make sure you don’t leave the lime wedges in the jar or else, it will turn bitter.
