Roasted Mango Panna Recipe
roast mangoes
1. Wash the mangoes, wipe them dry. Place the roti rack or papad rack on the gas stove. Place mango on it.2. Keep turning them occasionally so that they burn and cook evenly.3. The peels should be burnt. To check for doneness, slide a knife to one side and the knife should slide in easily without any resistance.
4. Remove the peel completely and cut the mango.5. Put the chopped mango pulp in a blender or mixer jar. Then add ¼ cup mint leaves. Add 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder and ½ teaspoon black salt.6. After this add 1 cup sugar. For Aam Panna, double the amount of sugar is added to the mango pulp. I got a little more than ½ cup of mango pulp. So I added 1 cup sugar.
7. Blend until smooth without adding water.
8. The consistency of aam panna syrup should be uniform. If there are fibers in the pulp, filter it. Transfer to a clean small jar or bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
Keep in mind that the aam panna syrup will thicken if kept in the refrigerator. However, when you mix it with water and stir, the thickness goes away.
