Summers has hit Bangalore and the heat is unbearable. To stay hydrated all the day round I prepare coolers using seasonal fruits and Aam Pora Shorbot aka roasted aam panna is one of them.

Normally aam panna is made by boiling raw mangoes and grinding it into pulp by adding some Indian spices along with mint.

In this recipe we directly roast the raw mangoes over the flame to get that smoky flavor in the drink.

I have used totapari mangoes as it is less sour than the other mangoes. This roasted aam panna is a refreshing drink with slightly tang and spice flavors to it.

It is said that this helps to cool your body and rejuvenate your soul.

Notes

I have used Totapari mangoes but you can use any other raw mango to make this drink.
You can replace sugar with jaggery or honey.
If you don’t like to have charred flavor, you can pressure cook the mangoes for 5- minutes.
Adding mint leaves is optional.
You can store this drink in refrigerator in glass bottle for a week.
