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
- 10 – 12 fresh Mint leaves
- 4 glasses chilled water
- A few ice cubes
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
