The scorching summers in India makes one crave for refreshing coolers. There are so many energy drinks available in the supermarkets, but nothing beats a jar full of homemade kairicha panha. Karichi panha is a raw mango cooler which tickles ones taste buds leaving one feel refreshed. I simply love panha for it offers sweet, tangy and salty flavors, all three at the same time.

My mom always used to welcome me home post work with a glass full of this goodness. I remember gulping it down to help me restore all the lost energy in the harsh sunny Indian weather.

Sharing my mom’s quick recipe to make a jarful of panha to keep yourself hydrated and energetic in the summers.
