Wash and dry the raw mangoes. Peel and discard the skin.

Using a sharp knife, carefully slice around the mango seed. Discard the seed and chop the flesh into small pieces. Set aside.

Chop or grate the jaggery.

Add the peeled and chopped raw mango pieces and 1 cup of water in a stainless insert of the Instant Pot.

Close the lid with the vent in the sealing position. Cook on Manual or Pressure Cook mode for 5 mins at High Pressure, followed by natural release when cooking is complete.

Once the pin drops, open the lid. Check if the mangoes are cooked. They should be soft and tender.

To the warm boiled raw mangoes, add jaggery (or sugar), cardamom powder, saffron (optional), salt, and black salt. Optional spices to add: roasted cumin seeds powder, chaat masala, or black pepper powder, and mix well.

Mix well to ensure the jaggery dissolves completely.

Cool completely and transfer the cooled mixture to a blender, blending until smooth. Strain using a mesh sieve (optional).

The Aam panna concentrate is ready! Store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze it for longer storage. This recipe makes about 2.5 cups of concentrate.

Add ice cubes to a glass, then mix 3-4 tablespoons of mango panna concentrate with chilled water or soda water until well combined. Garnish with mint sprigs, adjust the sweetness if needed, and enjoy chilled.

Mix 1 part concentrate with 3-4 parts water, which is approximately 6-7 cups of cold water for 2.5 cups of concentrate. Stir well, taste, and adjust water, sweetness, or salt as needed. Store in a pitcher in the fridge. When ready, pour over ice, garnish with mint sprigs, and serve chilled.
