There are a number of delicious recipes that you can put together with raw mangoes. The easiest and most delicious way to consume raw mangoes is to cut them into small pieces and add salt and chilli powder. Just relish them as it is!
From my recipe collection, One of my favourite recipes is Raw Mango Cilantro Rice | Green Mango rice. Do try this rice is you are a fan of raw mangoes. Apart from those authentic South Indian Recipes, Aam Panna is my go-to recipe with raw mangoes!
For the past 2 years, I have been stocking up my refrigerator with aam panna concentrate every time I find good raw mangoes. This year, to give a twist to this popular Indian beverage, I decided to make them in the form of popsicles. It turned out to be a fun activity for my kids and they have been relishing these popsicles every single day.
My daughters were super excited to make their own popsicles for the first time and loved how tangy and satisfying these raw mango popsicles tasted.
To add more flavour and colour to the aam panna, I added a few mint leaves to the recipe and it made the popsicles more beautiful and delicious.
These raw mango popsicles are tangy and sweet with a bit of spice. Every bite is a complete burst of flavours. During summer, all you need is one popsicle to keep you refreshed.
