• 1 whole green raw mango (approx 100 gms)
• A bunch of fresh mint leaves, a handful
• ½ teaspoon black rock salt (Kala Namak)
• 5 teaspoon Sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
• 4 cups chilled water
• 4 springs of mint & 4 thin lime wedges for dressing.
• Lots of Ice

Place the raw mango on a hot griddle without peeling, let it char till its skin is completely blistered (the color or the skin will turn a dark mustard yellow color).

Soak the charred mango in an ice water bath (this helps the skin come off in a jiffy) and leave on for 5-10 minutes. Then simply peel the skin off and keep the mango side.

In a bowl dilute sugar with four cups of chilled water. Crush a handful of fresh mint leaved and add to the water and mix well.

Now wash your hands absolutely clean and smash the mango pulp into the mint water using the palm of your hand.

Add both the salts and give the mixture a quick blend in your blender, just one whip.

Strain into a glass decanter add the entire roasted cumin powder and mix with a spatula.

Line each serving glass with a lime wedge and a spring of mint.

Pour the drink into the glasses, top up with some ice cubes and serve
