Ingredients

2 raw green mangoes (unripe), peeled, halved
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups water (for cooking mango)
1/2 tsp ground cumin (roasted)
1/2 tsp black salt (kala namak; substitute regular salt)
1 English cucumber, peeled, chopped
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
15 fresh mint leaves
2 cups cold water (to dilute)
as needed ice cubes

Instructions

1

Place 2 peeled, halved raw green mangoes (unripe) in a saucepan with 2 cups water (for cooking mango). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the mango flesh is completely soft and the skin separates easily.
2

Remove the mango from the water. When cool enough to handle, scrape all the cooked pulp away from the pits and skin. Discard the skin and pits.
3

Transfer the mango pulp to a blender. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cumin (roasted), 1/2 tsp black salt (kala namak; substitute regular salt), 1 peeled, chopped English cucumber, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 15 fresh mint leaves. Blend on high speed until completely smooth.
4

Add 2 cups cold water (to dilute) and blend again briefly to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness with more granulated sugar or tanginess with more fresh lime juice.
5

Pour over as needed ice cubes in tall glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with an extra sprig of mint if desired.
