HOW TO CONCENTRATED AAM PANNA MIXTURE

Wash Raw mangoes and mint leaves in the running water. We are using mint leaves  for the garnish purpose only and using mint powder for the recipe. Now peel the mangoes with the help of knife. Take a pressure cooker, add one glass of water in it and then add all peeled-raw mangoes to it. Close the lid of pressure cooker. Turn on the gas and set the flame to medium-high. Pressure cook the raw mangoes till they become pulpy and soft. I am using the medium sized pressure cooker, so 3 – 4 whistles are enough to cook the raw mangoes. You can also steam the raw mangoes in a steamer.

When done, turn off the gas and cool down the pressure cooker completely at room temperature. After cooling, Open the lid of cooker and take out the cooked-raw mangoes in a big bowl with remaining water in pressure cooker. Now its time to mash the mangoes and separate the mango pulp and seed. Before doing it, touch the mango and if the mango is cool enough to mash, do it otherwise let the mangoes cool down. Now take out the pulp with the help of spoon or direct with your hands. For more explanation you can check aam panna recipe video.

When done, Add 1 1/2 cup sugar into it and blend it till the smooth paste. If mangoes are fibrous, you can also strained the concentrated mango pulp. Now you can use this paste or we can say the concentrated mango pulp to make instant aam panna for the next 6 – 7 days. Just Fill it in glass jar or bottle and keep it in refrigerator.
