About this recipe
The summer drink every North Indian household makes the moment raw mangoes appear in the market. We simmer the green mangoes rather than boiling them whole, which keeps the pulp bright and tart instead of stewed, then sweeten with jaggery rather than sugar and finish with roasted cumin and black salt. One glass after a brutal afternoon and you understand why it's called nature's air-conditioner.
