Let’s Talk About Ingredients

  • Raw Mangoes – The main ingredient, giving a natural tangy flavour. Choose firm and sour mangoes for the best taste.
  • Sugar – Sweetens the squash and balances the tanginess. You can replace it with jaggery for a healthier version.
  • Lemon Juice – Enhances the freshness and preserves the squash longer.
  • Cardamom – Adds a mild aroma and flavour. Can be skipped if preferred.
  • Chaat Masala & Chilli Powder – These spices in the raw mango punch add a tangy-spicy kick.
