Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this drink different from regular mango juice?
Aam Panna uses raw green mangoes rather than ripe ones, giving it a sharp, tangy flavor instead of sweetness. The raw fruit is boiled until tender and blended into a concentrate, then seasoned with roasted cumin powder and salt — a flavor profile quite unlike any standard mango drink. 
Can I make the mango concentrate in advance?
Yes — the recipe produces a concentrate (about 2 tsp per glass) that you store in a glass or stoneware bowl. You can refrigerate it and prepare individual drinks as needed by adding water, mint leaves, and ice at serving time.
Why does the recipe call for roasted cumin powder specifically?
Roasted cumin powder has a deeper, smokier flavor than raw cumin and is a traditional pairing with green mango in Indian summer drinks. The recipe specifies 1/2 tsp, but instructs you to add it to taste alongside the sugar and salt.
