  • 3-4 tbsp jaggery or fine brown sugar, to taste
  • 50 ml water
  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • 1/2 tsp black salt (kala namak)
  • 1/2 tsp ground green cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 sprigs fresh mint, finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 jar
  • 1 medium sized pan
  • 1 sieve
  • 1 peeler

Method
 

  1. Peel the raw mangoes and dice into smaller pieces - this will help them soften quicker
  2. Place them in a saucepan and add the cold water and salt
  3. Bring to the boil and simmer for around 10 minutes, until softened
  4. Strain and allow to cool and then blitz into a smooth paste
  5. In the same pan, add the jaggery/sugar and water and allow to dissolve and then add the raw mango paste, black salt, chaat masala, ground cardamom, fresh or dried mint. Taste test and add more sugar or chaat masala as required. Simmer on a low heat for 5 -7 minutes
  6. Pour through a sieve and discard a fibrous parts remaining.
  7. Once cooled pour into your glass container store in the fridge for up to a week.
  8. When you want a glass, add a couple of tablespoons of paste per glass along with some ice cubes and cold water. Give a good stir and add fresh mint or a wedge of lime to serve

Notes

You can add some fresh mint or a slice of lime to serve.
If you can only find chaat masala and not black salt that is fine as chaat masala contains black salt in it.
