Tangy Ice Candy – as the name suggests – is a tangy flavored popsicle made from raw mangos. This recipe is inspired from a traditional Indian recipe and that is ‘Pana’.
Pana is a cold summer drink made from raw mangos. It is a sweet, tangy and salty drink which I couldn’t get enough of in my school days. The tangy ice candy recipe is an extension of the traditional Pana recipe with a twist of my own added to it.
Different places have different tastes to their fruits, vegetable and other food products. Mainly due to their geographical differences in the soil. The raw mangos that you get in India are more tangy than the ones you get in USA. So, when making this recipe do taste the mangos after they have been cooked and add lime juice accordingly to it. We do not want to make the popsicles too tangy.
About Tangy Ice Candy
Making this recipe reminds me of the hot summer days in India. Summer brings my favorite mangos to the market. And tangy pana is easily available at most homes during summer. And I prefer to have my pana frozen. That is where I got my inspiration for the popsicle. To make Tangy Ice Candy sweet I added jaggery to it. To make this Tangy Candy even more yummy I have also added ‘Chaat Masala’.
This is one of the easiest recipes to follow similar to the earlier posted Mocktail Pops.
