Origin Of Aam Panna

According to Chef Ranveer Brar, aam panna is an ancient Indian drink rooted in Ayurveda, not the Mughal era, stemming from the Sanskrit term panya (a drink). It is an indigenous, traditional summer cooler, designed for hydration, with regional variations like aam jhora (East) or kairicha panha (Maharashtra).

What Ranveer Brar's Aam Panna Recipe  

 Chef Ranveer Brar shows making Aam Panna. He starts by pressure cooking 5 medium raw mangoes with 2 cups water for 2-3 whistles until soft. Cool them, peel off skin, and scrape out the pulp into a bowl. Add sliced ginger. Soak 1 tbsp fennel seeds in water. For masala, dry roast 1 tbsp cumin seeds, 2-3 green cardamoms, 8-10 black peppercorns, and salt. Grind to fine powder. Blend pulp, ginger, soaked fennel, and masala into smooth paste. Add 1⅓ cups sugar and handful mint leaves, blend again with ice cubes. For serving, take 1-2 spoons concentrate in a glass, add ice cubes, cold water, mix well, and garnish with mint.
