Aam Panna (Mango Panna - Keri No Baflo)

Aam Panna is an authentic Indian drink that is easy to make with green mangoes, mint leaves, and a few spices.  I have an easy way to prepare it. Perfectly balanced between sweet and sour -  this drink is the perfect blend of flavors to serve at your next gathering.
