Keri Ka Sharbat Recipe ( Unripe Mango Drink )

Keri Ka Sharbat Recipe || Unripe Mango Drink || Summer Drink With Step by Step Photos And Video.

Keri ka sharbat, also known as Unripe Mango Drink, is a refreshing beverage made from keri, or unripe green mangoes, sugar, and spices. It is popular in India and Pakistan and serves as an effective remedy for preventing heat stroke and sunstroke during the summer.

Unripe mango drink is also rich in vitamin C and iron. Keri keri, or kacha aam, refers to unripe or raw green mangoes in India and Pakistan. These raw green mangoes are commonly eaten as a snack and are a popular ingredient in Indian and Pakistani cuisine due to their unique sour flavor.

What is Keri Ka Sharbat?

Unripe Mango drink, also known as keri sharbat, is a refreshing drink made from unripe green mangoes, sugar, and spices. It has a unique tart flavor due to the use of raw mangoes and black salt (or kala namak). "Kairi" refers to unripe green mangoes, while "aam" means mango, which is why this drink is sometimes called keri panha, keri sharbat, or aam panna interchangeably.

This drink is typically prepared in the form of a squash or concentrate, with water and ice cubes added when serving. Not only is it delicious, but it is also an effective remedy to help prevent heat exhaustion and sunstroke during the hot summer months.

Raw mangoes are rich in vitamin C and iron and possess cooling properties. Additionally, roasted cumin aids digestion, while black salt helps replenish sodium chloride lost through excessive sweating in the summer heat.

For a detailed recipe, watch my video where I explain the steps one by one.

Main Ingredients Of Keri Sharbat:

Green Unripe Mango:

Green, unripe mangoes are the main ingredient in this drink recipe. They are also known as raw mangoes or keri. This type of hard, raw mango is ideal for making keri ka sharbat and is easily found at Indian markets.

Pakistani and Asian grocery stores during the appropriate season. Kairi, or green mangoes, typically start to become available about 1 to 1.5 months before the main mango season.

Granulated sugar:

Sugar is the second main ingredient in this drink recipe. This recipe uses white granulated sugar, but you can also substitute it with brown sugar or jaggery (gurr).

The amount of sugar should match the quantity of unripe green mango. If the raw mango is more tart than sweet, feel free to increase the sugar. Sugar acts not only as a sweetener but also as a preservative.

Lemon Juice:

I add fresh lemon juice to prevent the squash from crystallizing while it is stored in the refrigerator. Although many people don’t include lemon juice in this recipe,

I highly recommend that you don’t skip or omit it. The lemon juice will keep the keri ka sharbat pourable, even after being stored in the fridge.

Black Salt:

Black salt, also known as kala namak, is a popular ingredient in Indian and Pakistani cuisine. It is typically sprinkled over sliced fruits, added to fruit chaat, or used in drinks to impart a smoky, tangy flavor.

You can purchase black salt at Indian and Pakistani grocery stores, and it has recently gained popularity in health stores as a staple in vegan cooking. If you can't find black salt, you can substitute it with half the amount of regular salt. Alternatively, you can use peri peri salt or Tajín seasoning in your recipes.

Food color:

I added green food coloring to this keri ka sharbat to make it brighter and more tempting. You can also add yellow food coloring or skip this ingredient altogether, as it is optional.

Mango essence:

Adding a few drops of mango essence makes the squash aromatic, similar to store-bought squash. It's an optional ingredient, so you can skip it if you don't have any.

How to Make Keri Ka Sharbat?

Step 1:

Start by peeling the raw mangoes. This method makes it easier to separate the pulp from the mango seeds. If you boil the mangoes with the skin on, the skin and pulp can mix together, making separation difficult.

Make 3-4 long gashes on each mango to ensure they boil quickly inside.

In a pot, boil water and add the prepared mangoes. Cook for about 30 minutes or until they are soft.

2nd Step:

In a saucepan, combine 0.5 liters of water and sugar. Stir continuously, adding fresh lemon juice to prevent crystallization. Once the mixture starts to boil, turn off the flame. You do not need a one or two-thread sugar syrup for this recipe.

3rd step:

Once the raw mangoes are soft, remove the seeds from the pulp.

Blend the pulp in a grinder or with a hand blender until smooth.

Strain the blended pulp using a strainer or muslin cloth to remove any remaining fibers.

4th step:

In a separate pot, combine the sugar syrup with the strained mango pulp. Stir well and bring to a boil.

Then, add mango essence, black salt, and food coloring, mixing thoroughly.

Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook until the mixture thickens.

To check the consistency, touch the mixture with two fingers; if a thread forms, the syrup is ready. Turn off the flame and let the sharbat cool completely.

Final Step:

Once cooled, transfer the sharbat to an airtight glass container and store it in the refrigerator. This Keri ka sharbat can last for more than six months.

To serve, add 2-3 tablespoons of keri ka sharbat to a glass, along with water and ice cubes. Mix well and enjoy!

Mango Juice Recipe (Tropical Fruit Juice )

Mango Juice Recipe | Tropical Fruit Juice | Homemade Mango Delight with Step-by-Step Photos and Video.

Homemade mango juice is not only an easy and quick tropical drink but also a delightful, refreshing treat that you can prepare in just 10 minutes with only a handful of key ingredients. The flavor is remarkably similar to the store-bought mango juice, making it an excellent choice to quench your thirst on a hot day.

This revitalizing mango fruit juice is made up of simple yet flavorful ingredients: ripe sweet mango pulp, powdered sugar, orange juice (or orange powder), ginger powder, and ice cubes. It’s an effortless recipe that helps replenish lost energy and essential nutrients, making it perfect for enjoying in the summertime.

When the sun is blazing and I find myself longing for something cold and tangy-sweet, especially after a long day in the kitchen, I crave the taste of fresh mango juice. Not knowing exactly how to replicate the flavors of my favorite store-bought varieties, I decided to create my own version of this luscious tropical drink.

For a detailed recipe, watch my video where I explain the steps one by one.

My Latest Homemade Mango Juice Video:

To get started, I rummaged through my refrigerator and found some juicy mango pulp that I had saved just before the end of mango season. Using this fresh pulp, I gathered all the necessary ingredients: a few tablespoons of powdered sugar, a splash of orange juice (or orange powder for a unique twist), a pinch of ginger powder, and a handful of ice cubes.

After combining everything in a blender, I blended the mixture until smooth and creamy, and voila, my homemade mango juice was ready to savor!

Ingredients for Making Refreshing Mango Juice:

Mango:

The star ingredient is undoubtedly the mango. I opted for ripe, sweet mango pulp to ensure the juice has a deliciously rich flavor. Caution is key—using sour or bland mango can lead to a disappointing drink. A sweet mango ensures that the juice meets the high standards set by commercial varieties.

Orange Juice:

Adding orange juice enhances the complexity of the juice, bringing a perfect balance of sweetness and tang. In my recipe, I used orange powder (often known as Tang) as my orange juice source, which not only simplifies the process but also offers a consistent flavor profile.

However, you can easily substitute this with store-bought orange juice. Just keep in mind that many commercial orange juices can have a slightly bitter aftertaste, which I personally dislike. The orange powder provides a delightful, tangy-sweet flavor without any bitterness.

Powdered Sugar:

I recommend powdered sugar for this recipe because its fine texture allows it to blend seamlessly into the juice. Unlike granulated sugar, which can leave gritty particles at the bottom of your drink, powdered sugar dissolves effortlessly, ensuring a smooth, sweet flavor throughout.

Ginger Powder:

A modest pinch of ginger powder can elevate the taste of your mango juice, imparting a warm, subtle spice that complements the tropical flavors beautifully.

For an extra layer of freshness, consider adding 1 to 2 mint leaves, which will not only enhance the aroma but also add a refreshing bite to the juice.

Ice Cubes:

Lastly, ice cubes are essential for making your mango juice beautifully chilled and slightly thinner in consistency. If you prefer a thicker juice, you can easily skip the ice cubes; however, on a sweltering day, they make for a delightful addition.

In just a few simple steps, you can enjoy this homemade mango juice, reminiscent of the store-bought versions, with a freshness that only home preparation can offer. Whether enjoyed alone or as a wonderful accompaniment to a summer meal, this drink is sure to bring a taste of the tropics to your day!

How to Make Delightful Mango Juice?

1st step:

Start by selecting a ripe mango; look for one that yields slightly to pressure and has a sweet aroma. Wash the mango thoroughly under running water to remove any impurities.

Next, peel the mango using a vegetable peeler or a small knife, taking care to remove all the skin. Cut the mango flesh away from the pit, then dice it into small, manageable cubes, roughly 1-inch in size, for easy blending.

In a small mixing bowl, take 2 tablespoons of quality orange juice powder. Gradually add 1/2 cup of cold water while stirring continuously to ensure the powder dissolves completely without clumping. This will create a refreshing base for your juice, enhancing the flavor profile of the mango.

In a blender jar, combine the diced mango, freshly prepared orange juice, 1-2 tablespoons of sugar powder (adjust to taste), a pinch of ginger powder (for a subtle kick), and a handful of ice cubes to give the juice a chilled texture.

Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining.

Once blended to your satisfaction, pour the mango juice into a serving jug.

If you prefer a thinner consistency, add chilled water—start with 1/4 cup and adjust to your liking. Taste the juice and adjust the sweetness or acidity as needed, possibly adding more sugar or a bit of orange juice for balance.

Pour the vibrant mango juice into serving glasses, garnishing with a slice of mango or a sprig of mint for a touch of flair.

Serve immediately while it's cold to enjoy the refreshing flavors at their best.
