Come summer, the king of fruits takes over with a plethora of delectable recipes created with both raw and ripe mango. While those with a sweet tooth swear by a sweet and creamy mango shake to combat the heat, others who prefer spicy and sour foods find relief in Aam Panna, which is made of raw mango and mint leaves.
Raw mangoes provide a range of health advantages and are used to flavor chutneys, beverages, and curries and vegetables. Raw mango has sour, astringent, and cooling Ayurvedic properties.
Aam Panna, the summer drink, not only quenches thirst and treats digestive problems, but it is also high in vitamin B1 and B2, niacin, and vitamin C. When suffering from heat stroke, aam panna can instantly cool down the body temperature and provide relief. It also aids digestion throughout the summer months.
Chef Kunal Kapur shared a delectable aam panna recipe on Instagram, which can help you battle the heat and keep cool this summer.
