Mango Strawberry Mint Cumin Spiced Cooler



Strawberries to Mango: Hey you, are you ripe and sweet yet? We are getting super ripe and close to spoiling, sitting in the refrigerator..
Mango: Yeah, I am supposedly ripe too, but not that sweet yet...I guess these guys like sweeter mangoes.
Strawberries: I hope we dont end up all spoilt and in the trash....uh oh.. here she comes..!

Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
  • 7-8 strawberries
  • 1 medium mango
  • 8-10 mint leaves
  • 2-3 cups of water
  • 2 Tablespoons raw sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon rock salt(kala namak)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
Directions:
  1. In a pressure cooker or a deep pan, add strawberries, peeled chopped mango, mint leaves, salt, sugar, rock salt, cumin powder, and water enough to cover the fruit.
  2. Pressure cook for 1 whistle, or boil for 15-20 minutes until mango is soft and cooked.
  3. Blend the mixture when cool and adjust salt, sugar and rock salt(rock salt adds a nice sour taste).
  4. Add more or less water according to preference. You can make this with raw fruits too!
  5. Serve chilled topped with fresh mint leaves!
  6. Wish you all a Happy Summer!
