Summer is here!!!!!
So here is one perfect refreshing summer drink recipe for you :)
In Maharashtra we prepare a cool drink called "Kairiche Panhe" or "Kairi Panha".  It's made of Kairi (Raw Mango) and it has sweet tangy flavor.  It is believed that drinking of raw Mango juice reduces your body heat and helps keeping you away from the summer heat.
Raw Mangoes are usually available in March and April. You can easily store thick Raw Mango pulp in the fridge for a month.  So you can use anytime to make "Kairiche Panhe"


Ingredients:

2 Raw Mangoes
Sugar/ Jaggery
1/2 tablespoon Cardamom powder
Pinch of Saffron
Salt as per your taste
Few Mint leaves for Garnish
Chat Masala to taste (Optional)


Method:

Wash the Mangoes. Peel off the skin and boil the mangoes till they turn soft.
It will take 10 to 15 min to cook properly.  Once Mangoes cooked, turn off the heat and let the mangoes cool completely.



Remove the Mango seed and separate the pulp.  Take the twice amount of Sugar/Jaggery of Mango pulp.  Blend the pulp well with Sugar/ Jaggery till it becomes a smooth thick paste.

For final serving take a glass, add 2 or 3 tablespoon thick Mango pulp.
