Aam Panna is, Natures gift of the summer turned to an amazing cooling drink. It is a Maharashtrian drink, not much heard in the south.
Having it chilled is divine, the chatpaty taste makes this drink highly addictive. I got this aam panna recipe from my aunt Sr. Marina, who has spent most of the time in northern India. Once when she was down for her vacation made this aam ka panna drink for us. It was amazingly delicious and everyone loved it.
My Mom’s house is located in the heart of Santhekatte in Udupi and we had around 8 to 10 huge mango trees spread wide throughout the entire land. My aunt had told me that our ancestors planted these trees thinking that if not we at least the next generation gets the opportunity to eat the fruits and now we are enjoying the fruits of their hard labour.

I feel sometimes we are selfish and do not take interest in planting trees. Recently we lost all the trees since we had to do some construction. This year I am missing those mangoes which we had free from nàture and have to buy it paying a high price and which is nothing to match the taste of the mangoes we had.
Now that I have realised the need for this and have started planting trees in our other land so that if not me, my children get the fruits. Thanks to the advancement in horticulture, we now get a dwarf variety of trees which doesn’t grow huge and yields in a short time.
