- Method – 2 :Alternatively,u can burn the mangoes over direct flame till it turns like a charcoal.Cook in medium flame and turn it every now and then.Remove when the mango is cooked completely.Discard the burnt skin and take out the pulp.Keep it ready.U can follow this method if u want smoky flavor in the drink.I followed First method as we don’t like smoky flavor in our food.
- After taking the pulp from the mangoes,measure it in a cup.Take grated jaggery that is twice the measure of mango pulp.In my case,i got 1/2 cup(heaped) of pulp.So i used 1 cup (heaped) of grated jaggery.
- In a mixie jar,take the pepper corns,roasted cumin powder,Black salt and cardamom seeds.Powder it nicely.To this powder,add jaggery and pulse it twice.
- Lastly add the mango pulp and grind it well to make a smooth paste.No need to add water.Aam panna concentrate is ready. Remove the paste using a clean spoon and store in a bottle.
