Summer and mangoes are as inseparable as milk and water. If nature gives us sweltering heat, it also gives us the pleasure of enjoying succulent fruits and of course besides musk melon and water melons, what takes the cake is the king of fruits — mango. When they are used in cooling drinks, they become even more refreshing. Here is the recipe of Aam Panna.

• ½ tbsp black pepper
