Summer Cooler


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 big Raw Mangoes
  • 1 Tsp Black Salt
  • 1 Tsp roasted masala powder (detail given in Instruction No.2)
  • 1/2 Tsp freshly grounded Pepper powder
  • 1/3 Cup Sugar
  • 1012 fresh Mint leaves
  • 4 glasses chilled water
  • A few ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Wash, rinse and pat dry the raw mangoes. With the help of a fork prick the mangoes from all sides and roast them over direct flame for 10 – 12 minute or until all their sides have charred and their pulp softens. Remove from heat and let them cool.
  2. In the meantime, make the Roasted Masala Powder. Dry roast 1.5 Tsp of cumin seed and 1 red chilli over medium – low heat on a griddle/tava. Do not over roast them as the masala powder will taste bitter.  Cool and dry grind in a blender. Set aside.
  3. Once the raw mangoes are cooled, use a spoon or simply your hands to remove the charred/grilled blackened peels of the mangoes and scrape out the pulp inside. Transfer the pulp to a blender.
  4. In the blender along with the roasted raw mango pulp, add the salt, roasted Masala powder, sugar, pepper powder, mint leaves and the chilled water. Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour into serving glasses along with some ice cubes.

Notes

Be sure to puncture the raw mango with a fork before roasting to get the unique smoky flavour for the shorbet. If you want to go all the way natural, jaggery is a good replacement for refined sugar. Also using fresh mint is essential, as it combines well with the smoky raw mango mouthfeel.
