I am obsessed with Aam Panna and why not?… for starters, it is an explosion of flavors in the mouth – sour mangoes, some spices to give it a zing, and then coolness from mint.
This makes a good way to quench thirst; insert fresh mint and an ice cube if you want to make it colder, keep the syrup refrigerated for long.

Moreover, there is something gratifying about making this delightful drink.

I like that balance between being not too strong but refreshing and chill at once.

It’s basic, it’s delicious and also the quintessential summer time refreshment companion.

  • Cook until you hear one whistle, then lower the flame and let it simmer for 10 more minutes. This process softens the mango and makes it easy to extract the pulp.

  • Soaking Fennel Seeds: While the mango cooks, soak the fennel seeds in a small bowl of water for about 30 minutes. Fennel seeds add a unique aromatic flavor to the drink. After soaking, strain the seeds to remove the water. This step enhances their fragrance and makes grinding easier.

  • Cooling and Peeling Mango: Once the mango is cooked, let it cool down before draining the water. The skin should peel off effortlessly. Remove the pulp with a spoon or your hands and place it in a mixing bowl.
