The word “panna” means something one drinks in Sanskrit. For centuries, aam panna or mango panna has been known for its cooling properties. This summer drink finds its roots in ancient India, with passing mention in text written by Kalidasa. It is also believed that the Mughal emperors loved mangoes and had their own version prepared in their royal kitchens.
This recipe in particular contains jaggery as a sweetener, which is a better option for those looking to control their sugar intake. Along with the tanginess of the mango, the panna has the warmth of cardamom, cumin, and black pepper.
