4-6 raw mangoes
Approximately 2 glasses of water
A large pan (for boiling raw mangoes)
Sugar (as per need)
Black salt (as per need)
Mint (as per need)
Black pepper powder (as per need)

Take out the skin and kernel of these cooked mangoes, and the remaining mixture may be blended in a mixer. If you like it sweet, add sugar before blending. But if you are interested in a salted drink, then add mint, black pepper and black salt before blending. Strain the blended liquid through a strainer and use as required. Sprinkling a little bit of Jal zeera powder will add to taste.
