It is finally Summer here! The last few days have been very hot and dry. It is very important to stay hydrated in this extreme heat conditions! Aam Panna made with roasted mangoes, is a popular drink in India during the summer months. I took this popular drink a notch up and made these Aam panna popsicles! Who doesn’t like a frozen treat on a summer day?
These aam panna popsicles have a sweet and tangy taste with a refreshing flavor. The roasted cumin powder compliments the flavor of the roasted mango. You may add a few sprigs of mint leaves too.
A must try recipe during the summer and I am sure you will love it as much as we did.
Tips:
Roasting the mango brings out the best flavor but if it is not convenient then you may pressure cook the mango for 3-4 whistles. If you do not have a mold handy, you may use small paper cups to set the popsicles.

Sweet and tangy mango popsicles with a refreshing taste!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large raw/ green mango
- 1/4 cup sugar or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon rock salt
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
INSTRUCTIONS
- Wash the mango and put directly on an open fire on a gas stove. Cook until the mango is charred from all sides. Carefully place the mango with a help of a tong in a bowl and cover. Set it aside until cool enough to handle.
- When the mango is cool enough to handle, squeeze the pulp from the mango and discard the peel and the seed.
- In a blender add the mango pulp, sugar, salt, black salt and roasted cumin powder and blend well. Add 1½ cups of water and give a final whiz. Taste and adjust accordingly. Pour the mixture in the mold and cover with an aluminum foil. Insert popsicle sticks on each mold. Transfer to the freezer to chill for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, submerge the mold on a bowl filled with hot water. That way it will be easy to unmold the popsicles. Enjoy on a summer afternoon or after dinner as a frozen dessert.
