Instructions

Prepare the Mangoes

Wash and boil the raw mangoes with their skins for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Allow to cool completely.

Blend the Ingredients

Peel the cooled mangoes and remove the seeds. Combine the mango pulp, mint leaves, black salt, table salt, roasted cumin powder, lemon juice, and sugar in a blender.

Blend until Smooth

Blend until you achieve a smooth and thick consistency. Adjust the amount of water if needed to reach your desired thickness.

Freeze into Cubes

Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.

Store for Later

Once frozen, pop the cubes out of the tray and store them in a freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to 2 months.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Aam Panna Ice Cubes

For a more intense flavor, roast the cumin seeds yourself before grinding them into a powder.
If your mangoes are particularly tart, you may need to increase the sugar to balance the flavors.
For a smoother consistency, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before freezing.
Experiment with adding a pinch of chili powder for an extra kick!
