First step – Boil the mangoes

• Put all the mango slices in the pressure cooker. Add enough water as the slices sink into the water. Now add 1 tbsp of salt into it.
• Place the cooker on a high flame and wait for 3-4 whistles. Then turn off the gas and let it cool down automatically. 
• When the pressure cooker automatically cools down & releases the pressure, open the lid and strain the mangoes through a strainer.

Second step – To make roasted spices

• While boiling the mangoes in one gas oven, place a pan in another oven to dry roast the 1 & 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 5-6 whole black pepper, and 1 dry red chilli.
• Slightly cool down the spices and grind them with the help of a mortar & pestle or a small grinder jar to get a fine powder.

Third Step – Preparing aam panna

• Take a blender jar, first, pour boiled raw mangoes & mint leaves.

• Add ground roasted spices, 1&1/2 tsp black salt, and 1&1/2 tsp chaat masala to the Blender. As shown in the pics.

•  Add 3/4 cup sugar and then 1/4 cup chilled water and blend it nicely. Even add the water used for boiling mangoes and a few ice cubes later. And you can again blend it together.

•  This mango panna is too thick; add more water, and again blend it well to get the desired consistency. You can even add some more sugar if the drink is still tangy in taste.

• Aam Panna is ready. Serve it chilled with a few more cubes. If you wish, you can sprinkle a little amount of roasted cumin-red chilli-black pepper powder on the top of the drink. And garnish it with mint leaves.

  How to make Bengali aam pora’r shorbot

• 1st step – For making aam pora’r shorbot, you do not need to peel the mangoes’ skin. You should wash and clean the mangoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
• 2nd step – Now place the mangoes on the direct flame (slow flame) of a gas stove. Gradually, let the skin burn.  When one side turns black, then turn the mango with the help of a thong. Wait till the other side also gets black.
• 3rd step – Once the mango is perfectly roasted, remove it from the flame and cool it down.
• 4th Step – After cooling down, take its skin off. Take all the pulp out by squeezing the mango using your hand.
• 5th step – Then blend the pulp with mint leaves, roasted spices, sugar, and chilled water, the same ingredients used to prepare aam panna. 
•  Aam pora’r shorbot is ready, serve it with ice cubes and sprinkling roasted spices on the top, and enjoy the drink.

Tips

• Sometimes the water which we use to boil the raw mangoes tastes slightly bitter. So before adding that water to the blender, you should taste it; it can ruin the taste of this drink.
• Here I have used a whole red chilli while making the roasted spices. You may skip using red chilli.  That’s not essential; adding red chilli is totally up to you.
