Green mango Juice / Kacha Amer Shorbot / কাঁচা আমের শরবত

Green mango Juice / Kacha Amer Shorbot / কাঁচা আমের শরবত

  Green mango juice is a typical Summer delight juice in the Bengal, however each person makes it differently. Some likes to roast mango and some likes to boil it; some likes add green chillies and some likes to add black pepper. Some even likes to use half ripe mango. In this preparation sugar depends on sourness of your mango and your taste bud, so use it as less or as much you needed. Personally I like to roast green mangoes to get perfect smoky flavour but if you want to make life easy and handy, you can peel mango, cut the flesh and boil it with water till it becomes soft. Enjoy. With love, Rownak Ingredients: 2 green mangoes Sugar to taste 1 teaspoon black salt ½ tablespoon mint leaves 2 green chilies Water as needed (2-3 cups )   How to make: Roast green mangoes on slow fire direct flames – similar to what we do for begun bharta . Or you can use oven to roast these

Traditionally it is made with lots ingredients; here I try to make it simple and easy for home made version to keep it original flavour. You can use or add fruit by your choice, just pick sweet one.

Lassi / Smoothie / লাচ্ছি
