Ingredients

Ripe Mangoes – I prefer to use Alphonso mangoes or Kesar mangoes as they are bright orange, sweet, less fibrous, and juicy. You can use any ripe and juicy mango of your choice, but make sure they are bright orange in color, sweet, and less fibrous.

Raw Mangoes – The addition of raw mangoes adds a slight tanginess to the drink.

Sugar – You will need white granulated sugar. You can adjust it according to your taste.

Citric Acid – It gives a nice tang to the drink. If citric acid is not available, you can replace it with lime juice or lemon juice.

You will also need water and salt.

How To Make Mango Frooti

Cook The Mangoes

In A Stovetop Pressure Cooker

Add 2 cups of peeled and cubed ripe mangoes and ½ cup of peeled and cubed raw mangoes to a stovetop pressure cooker.

Add 1 cup of room-temperature water.

Pressure cook for 2 whistles over high heat.

Remove the cooker from the heat and let the pressure release naturally.

In An Instant Pot

Add 2 cups of peeled and cubed ripe mangoes and ½ cup of peeled and cubed raw mangoes to an instant pot.

Add 1 cup of room-temperature water.

Close the lid and set the valve to the sealing position.

Press PRESSURE COOK and set the timer to 2 minutes at high pressure.

Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.

Release the remaining pressure manually and open the lid.

Make The Sugar Syrup

Add 1 cup of granulated white sugar and 1 cup of room-temperature water in a pan over medium heat.

Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Cook for 3-4 minutes until the syrup is slightly thickened.

Remove the pan from the heat. Cool the syrup for 10 minutes.

Make Frooti

Transfer the cooked mangoes to a blender and blend until smooth.

Pass this puree through a fine-mesh strainer.

Add

• sugar syrup
• 2 cups of chilled water
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon citric acid

and stir well.

Serve over a few ice cubes.

Pro Tips By Neha

You can adjust the quantity of sugar depending on the sweetness of the mangoes and your taste preference. Add more sugar if the mangoes are not sweet enough or you like a sweeter drink.

Never cook the mangoes and sugar together. If cooked together, the sugar will hamper the mangoes from softening.

Serving Suggestions

Sip on it on a hot summer day or serve it for your parties, get-together, or barbecue parties.

You can also use it to make mocktails, cocktails, smoothies, or other refreshing summer drinks.

Storage Suggestions

Homemade Frooti Mango Drink can be stored in an airtight glass container for about a week in the refrigerator.

Close the lid tightly after every use to ensure that the drink lasts longer.
