  My mom tips –

• Use less or more sugar according to the sournress of mango pulp.
  If needed more sugar add accordingly.

• Use roasted cumin powder and black salt as per your taste.
  If you like more cumin seeds powder use as per your taste.

• You can directly roast green mango in on gas stove fire on medium heat until it become tender. Cool down completely and peel off the skin and use the mangoes pulp as required.
  Roasting in a fire gives panna a smoky flavor taste.
• That’s all for today.
  I am sure you will love to make it at your home and beat the heat of summer at this way.
  We shall come very soon with some summer dessert and cooler.
