Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Mango Panna

For a smoother Panna, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
Adjust the amount of sugar and salt according to your preference. Taste and adjust as needed.
Experiment with other spices! A pinch of cardamom or a few drops of mint extract can add another layer of flavor.
For a more intense mango flavor, use fully ripe mangoes.
