Aam Panha / Kacche Kairika Panha

A raw mango or kachhi kairi is full of A,C and B6 Vitamins. It is also rich in antioxidants. I get nostalgic whenever I have this panha. This fresh and homemade panha is anytime better than any ready-made drinks, which has lots of artificial flavors and colors.

Ingredients :

1 cup raw mango (cut into pieces)

2 cups sugar (you can also put sugarfree as substitute)

5/6 strands of saffron

Salt to taste

6 glasses of Water (around 1.5 Liters)

Recipe:

Blend cut raw mango pieces in the mixer with little water. The consistency should be like a pulp. Put this pulp in a bowl and add sugar and water to it. Stir the mixture till the sugar dissolves. Now strain this mixture with a strainer, make sure that only the juice is coming out of the strainer and not the pulp. Once the juice is collected, add saffron to it. Keep the juice in the fridge for cooling. Serve it cool.
You can store this for 3 to 4 days.

Note: You can add a pinch of cardamom powder to the panha, if you like the taste of it.
