Aam Panna, a noted Indian cooling summer drink made with raw or green mangoes is an instant thirst quencher. It is known to have immense heat resistance properties. A full glass of this drink can immediately relax someone from the scorching heat of the summers.
This is basically a refreshing squash with raw mangoes and some assorted spices, with some mint leaves thrown in. It's widely consumed in North India to beat the heat. With the temperature in my city saoring higher and higher, all I can think of is the air conditioner (I'm really thankful to whoever invented it) and some cool drinks like Lassi and Aam Panna. All so healthy and rejuvenating, instantly making you feel fresh with every sip down your throat.
The recipe I have followed for this raw mango delight was given to me by my friend Roma.

These raw mangoes certainly look tempting, agree? The moment raw mangoes are brought into the house, I pick up a few and have it my favourite way - raw with rock salt and chilli powder. Try it if you haven't till now.
I used two large raw mangoes which produced enough quantity to almost fill this glass jar to its full capacity. You can make more as you can refrigerate this pulp throughout summers.
