This week, I am sharing a very delicious and refreshing drink made from Raw mango. It's called Kairi (raw mango) panna or 'panhe' in my language. It's a sweet and sour drink, flavoured with cardamom and saffron. It is very easy to prepare. You can make the concentrate and store it in a refrigerator for a minimum of 10-15 days. Just take the required quantity of concentrate and mix with water and its ready to serve.
I am serving it as a traditional drink as well as sorbet.
