(cardamon and saffron flavored raw-mango drink)
Theres many ways this drink is made with jaggery, sometimes with uncooked raw mangoes, etc. One of my friend's mom made this awwessommmee version with raw uncooked mango, but sigh, me or noone else I know can manage to make it taste the same as hers.., so this one gotta be my favorite kind! The recipe is a modified version of Aruna kaku's recipe(my sweet neighbor). The perfect refreshing welcome drink for summer :)
Its the easiest thing to make on the earth, but trust me it wont go unappreciated! in fact people will treat it like you made the most complicated thing ever :P
straight to the recipe:
You will need:
2 raw mangoes
Pressure cooker
2 cups sugar (fine/powdered)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cardamon powder
saffron few strands,slightly toasted and crushed (this way the flavor is stronger)
ya.. thats it!
1. Place the raw mangoes in a pressure pan/cooker, put water till the mangoes are half submerged
2. cook under pressure (3-4 whistles)
3. Wait till they cool down, then peel
4. Remove the pulp, and measure it (you will get about 1 cup from 2 large mangoes)
5. add double the amount of powdered sugar (e.g. 2 cups sugar for 1 cup of raw rmango pulp)
6. You may have to add more or less sugar (sometimes upto 4 times!! ) depending on how sour the raw mangoes are.
7. add the salt, cardamon powder and saffron.
8. Fill in an air tight jar and keep overnight.
9. It should be like a sweet jam the next day, if not, adjust the amount of sugar. (In fact, this can be used as a kairi jam too, tastes like moramba!)
10. To prepare the drink- mix a big spoonful of this mix add water and ice and enjoy!!!
How about adding a dash of tequila and making Panha Margarita???!! Maybe save a little pulp+sugar mixture without the saffron and cardamon, and make raw mango margaritas! Dont forget the salt on the rim ;)
