Instructions
Preparation Of Aam Porar Shorbot Pulp [Sweet Version]
- Wash the raw mangoes and wipe them.
- Roast the mangoes on a direct flame on low to medium heat until the outer skin is charred and black. The flesh/ pulp has to become soft and fully cooked.
- Cool them by covering them with a damp cloth or kitchen towel.
- Peel and discard the charred skin of the mangoes. Separate the pulp discarding the stone.
- Into a blender, add the extracted pulp, sugar or jaggery, mint leaves, black salt and roasted cumin powder.
- Grind the ingredients till smooth.
- This concentrated mango mixture can be stored in a glass jar or air tight bottles, in the refrigerator for a week.
Preparation Of The Drink
- To prepare this drink, we need a big steel or glass mixing bowl/ pot and a balloon whisk.
- Into the mixing bowl, add enough chilled water. Add a few tablespoons of the prepared Aam Porar Shorbot Pulp.
- Using a balloon whisk, continuously whisk together the pulp and chilled water till blended well.
- Do a taste test and add more pulp if necessary. Remember to whisk the contents well. Pour into individual serving glasses or mason jars. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and ice cubes.
- Serve chilled.
Preparation Of Aam Porar Shorbot Pulp [Savory Version]
- To prepare the savory version of Aam Porar Shorbot, omit/ avoid the use of sugar mentioned in the recipe.
- And you can make it a healthy low calorie drink.
Recipe Notes
- You can adjust the thickness of the drink to your preference. I like it thick and so added generous amounts [5 to 6 tablespoons or more] of concentrated mixture/ pulp per glass. If you like it thin take about 2 to 3 tablespoons of concentrated mixture/ pulp per glass.
- The recipe makes use of smoked/ charred mangoes. This lends a nice subtle smoky flavor to the drink. But if you don’t like the smoky flavor, simply boil/ steam peeled deseeded mangoes instead.
- The quantity of sugar and salt depends upon the sourness of the mangoes so adjust accordingly.
- Make sure the mangoes you use are very sour. The colour of the drink depends on the colour of the mangoes and addition of the ingredients like pudina and jeera.
- If you like your drink with a few chunks of mango pulp in it; do not grind the mango mixture in a blender. Instead, simply mash all the ingredients with your hands into a coarse pulp.
