Aam Panna

Finally summer is here and its time to make some fresh, chilled and refreshing drinks to beat the heat. Aam panna or green mango panna or raw mango juice is an Indian drink which is a great remedy for heat stroke. Aam panna is made of green mangoes, sugar and some Indian spices. Green mango is a rich source of pectin, it is sour in taste. It is also a good source of Vitamin B and C. This the prefect and ideal drink  for hot summer days.

 Today we are starting with 4th week of Blogging Marathon #64. My theme for this week is "Kids Delight- Summer cookers". For next 3 days  I will be posting 3 super delicious and refreshing drinks to beat the heat. Here is the recipe for 1st days post- Aam Panna.


Ingredients:
Raw Mango 2
Sugar 1 cup
Black Salt 1/2 spoon
Regular salt 1/4 spoon
Mint leaves 1/4 cup
Cumin powder 1/2 spoon


Preparation:
Wash raw mangoes thoroughly and presser cook them for 2 whistles.
Let it cool completely to remove the lid.
Now remove the pulp from the mango skin and the seed.
Add salt, mint leaves, cumin powder, salt and black salt to the pulp.
Now blend everything together in a mixer grinder or with a hand blender.
Add crushed ice and blend once again.
Serve chilled.

Check to see what my fellow bloggers are cooking for BM 64.

This recipe also goes to Srivalli's Kids Delight event hosted by PJ.

Aloo Kurma / Potato Gravy : No Onion Garlic Version

Image
For the 4th and final week of Blogging Marathon # 46, am here with  No onion and Garlic recipes. Being a south Indian, I can't imagine cooking without onion and garlic. We use onions in almost all the dishes. We cook food without onion and garlic only during festivals as most of the Indians do.

Not only during festivals but few communities in India do not eat onion and garlic at all. They feel that various foods and drink can influence the state of one's mind. Onions, garlic etc, are classified as foods that change one’s mind such that it becomes angry and one cannot control it.

 From a social point of view eating strong tasting and strong smelling foods such, as onions and garlic can lead to bodily odours. These are both unsociable and disrespectful to others. Eating onions for example will lead to bad breath. Eating garlic even in small amounts can lead to days of an unsavoury odour coming from the skin.

So, for day 1, am here with some delicious gravy curry, Aloo Kurma. Yes, y…
