कैरी चे पन्हे | Kairi che Panhe | Raw Mango Juice

'Kairi che Panhe' also called 'panha' some times is a sweet juice made out of Raw Mango (Kairi). This is also know as 'paanka' in Kannada.This is an authentic beverage of Maharashtra and also found in many regions of Karnataka.

As soon as the 'Chaitra Maas' begins(First month of Hindu Calender), which falls between March and April,the very first thing comes in mind is 'Kairi cha Panha' and 'Kairi chi Daal'.It is a must in every home as long as one is able to get the raw mangoes.A refreshing drink.Let us learn to make it.

There are different versions of making this Panhe.Some people add Sugar and Some add Jaggery.Also,method of preparation is different in many ways.This is one of them,which I really find easy

Servings : 8 to 10 glasses.

Ingredients :

1. Raw mango - 1 (Big size)
2. Jaggery - 2 Cups
   
3. Cardmom Powder - 1/4 Tsp (It is required while serving)
4. Salt - As required

STEPS :

• Pressure cook the Raw mango.Let it cool down.
• Peal it and take out the pulp in a bowl.Mash it well
• To that add jaggery andleave it for around 1 hour.After Jagerry is softened,mix it well in the pulp.
  
• Blen this in the blender so to avoid the fibrous texture.
• Now this Pulp is ready.Refrigerate it.It should remain good for atleast 8 days in Fridge.

SERVING METHOD : 

1. While Serving,Take out the pulp.To that add the Cardmom Powder.
   
2. Keep adding water water until you get the consistency you get.Consistency should be neither too thick,nor too watery.
3. Add the salt if needed and serve it.
4. You can add Ice cubes while serving.

TIPS :

• Add the Cardmom powder fresh.Do not mix in the pulp while refrigerating.It over takes the other flavors.
• We have already added the Jaggery in excess amount so that when water is added, the taste is balanced.But, depending upon sourness of mango, you can always adjust the quantity of Jaggery.
• Adding Cardmom is optional.
