Instructions of Mango Frooti

 

Step 1: Prepare the Mangoes
Peel and chop the ripe mangoes and the raw mango. Keep them separate as they will be cooked differently.

Step 2: Cook the Raw Mango
In a pot, add the chopped raw mango and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the raw mango becomes soft and tender. This will add a nice tangy flavor to the drink.

Step 3: Cook the Ripe Mangoes
In another pot, add the chopped ripe mangoes with 2 cups of water. Cook on low heat until the mangoes turn soft and mushy.

Step 4: Blend and Strain
Once both the ripe and raw mangoes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly. Blend the ripe and raw mangoes together until smooth. Strain the mixture to remove any fiber and ensure a smooth texture.

Step 5: Add Sugar
Transfer the mango puree to a large pan. Add sugar and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the Mango Frooti mixture cool down completely. Once cooled, pour the mixture into a bottle and refrigerate. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
