Since this blog has been started in summers, its only fair to include the one thing that use to become a must back home with the arrival of summers - and Mangoes!!!
Oh my my the yummylicious mangoes.. i bet the ad on one of the mango drinks - "aamsutra" - fully awesome!! and so is the feeling with a yummy slice of mango in your mouth... but with summers also comes the plethora of illnesses.. only and only due to the unbearable heat!
however, there are always seasonal remedies to seasonal issues - this heat will be taken care of by Keri pana - simply put as the broth of raw mango - absolutely delicious and very very useful to keep the heat off your body
Ingredients:
Raw mango - 4 - 5
Water
Salt / Black Pepper / Sugar / Cumin Seeds / Black (Rock) Salt
Method:
Boil the raw mangoes - ideally in a pressure cooker or you could microwave them on max for about 15 Min's.
In pressure cooker you'll need about 3- 4 whistle, the mangoes need to be squishable is how much u need to boil them
Once done allow it to cool and squish and make a puree of it. Add roughly 3 quarters to a litre of water to it. Now is the interesting part - just like a lemonade, you have options of making it purely sweet or purely salted or mix.
use your cooking wisdom to improvise - I'll share the process of making it sweet n sour
okay before you n i both forget pls remove the seeds of mangoes from the base that u have prepared!!
There is no need to filter it - let the raw particles of mango be there (the pulpier it is, the healthier it will be)
Now in a dry pan roast about a tsp full of cumin seeds, grind them - preferably with a hand grinder (like those of stones / wood etc) or if not possible then mixer grinder, add this to the juice, now add half tsp regular salt, half tsp rock salt, a quarter tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp of Sugar.
mix this entire thing well and now its ready to relinquish
for only sweet add only sugar and nothing else, for salted add all the rest and no sugar as mentioned above
another variation to this drink and also incredibly soothing in the summers is adding mint
For Mint Flavour:
add a quarter tsp of lime juice to this juice in any of the above sweet sour combinations
take about 15 - 20 mint leaves and grind them well - really fine in a grinder, and add this paste to the ready juice.
best served chilled with some crushed ice and mint garnish.
