Guava Panna a very delicious and nutritious mocktail with the flavors of ginger, fennel seeds, tangy lemons and the punch given by chilies.
INGREDIENTS:
Guavas- 3, big
Jaggery- 400 grams
Water- 2 cups or 500 ml
Ginger- 2” piece
Fennel seeds- 1 teaspoon
Green chilies- 4-5( adjust according to your taste)
Black salt- 1 teaspoon
Lemon juice- 4 tablespoon
Mint leaves- handful
DIRECTIONS:
We will start making this panna by washing and roughly chopping guavas.
Discard the core portion which is full of seeds.
In a pan put chopped guavas, jaggery and water together.
Keep the pan on low heat.
Let the jaggery melt and guavas cook a little bit. Stir occasionally.
This will take about 20 minutes.
After that switch off the heat and let it come to room temperature.
When the cooked guavas+ jaggery mix come to room temperature blend the mix with the help of a blender to a smooth mix.
Pass this blended mix through a sieve so that there are no seeds in our panna. Press the pulp with the back of a ladle to take out the maximum pulp.
After that take 2 tablespoons of sieved mix in the blender and add in ginger, chilies, fennel seeds, mint leaves and lemon juice.
Blend everything well. Mix it to our sieved mix.
Add in black salt and mix everything well.
Taste test and add in more salt if needed.
Guava Panna Mixture is ready.
How to serve Panna-

Add in ice cubes according to your choice.
Serve cold.
