Aam Panna Recipe

Hi all!! i mentioned aam panna in my previous blog to keep skin hydrated and fresh in summers, so i thought i should share the recipe with you guys.

Ingredients (american measuring cup used, 1 cup = 250 ml)

• 1 large or 2 medium sized raw mangoes
• 2-3 cardamoms, crushed or powdered
• 4-5 black pepper, crushed or powdered (optional)
• 2 tsp black salt
• powdered jaggery/sugar - double the amount of the mango pulp... add more for more sweetness

1. rinse the raw mangoes in water a couple of times. pressure cook the raw mangoes in enough water for 3-4 whistles till they become soft. you can also steam the mangoes in a steamer or a pot.


2. after cooking the raw mangoes, the peel comes off easily. scrape and remove the cooked mango pulp. scrape from the peel also. collect the cooked mango pulp in a bowl. discard the peels.


3. add powdered jaggery/sugar and crushed cardamom with black salt. as a rule always add double the amount of jaggery/sugar to the mango pulp. the ratio is 1:2 for mango pulp and jaggery respectively. i got about 1 cup of mango pulp. hence have added 2 cups of the evaporated cane juice.


4. mix well. you could also use a blender or hand churner to blend the panna. your aam panna is ready. store aam ka panna in a bottle or jar in the fridge.


5. for making the drink, dissolve 1 tbsp of the aam panna in one glass of water. add ice cubes and serve aam ka panna cold.

Skin care for Summers

Hi all!! Here are a few tips to keep your skin healthy and fresh in summers. Get rid of your oily and sebum producing skin which is quite irritating. i personally have a very vexatious skin and i make sure that i follow these remedies.

1- EXFOLIATION: removes dead, dulling skin debris to prevent congestion and improve hydration from toner and moisturizers. exfoliation should be done prior to toner. its not necessary to buy expensive products, you can exfoliate your skin by simply using a shower scrub with your normal face wash. which is quite soft and will definitely not cause any harm. 

2- Skin hydration: toners and boosters are best for skin hydration. Body shop vitamin E toner is preferred by me and i also use Dermalogica booster. helps alot!

 vitamin E toner, THE BODY SHOP

3- Water: at least 8 ounces of water every day is what we all know very well but never try to follow >.< 

4-  Sunscreen: use minimum of 1 teaspoon of sunscreen for full face before going out.                             

5- Soothe over exposed skin:  by using botanicals and cooling gels.                                                        

 6- Ditch aerated drinks:  they are full of sugar and are ice cold which is defo not good for you figure. instead drink plenty of water, fresh lime, fresh fruit juices,  aam panna or coconut water. and yes! dont forget to eliminate alcohol and caffeine :)                                                                                                                 Lets see if these tips are of any use to the beautiful ladies out there.                                                                

 ENJOY!! xo
