I like to know what blender are you using? I am having hard time finding a good blender here in North America for Indian cooking.
FYI, u said that the panna is also called a gurmba. That is incorrect. Gurmba is very different
Hi,
Your recipies are awesome.They really help beginners like me!I’m going to try this as its one of my favs.Plse keep adding more!Just wanted to know if I have to make the Panna in larger quantities can I just double all the ingredients as mentioned here?
Hi Anuradha,
You could double all the ingredients provided that you have a pressure cooker that is big enough to safely fit all the additional water. If not, you can just double the mango and increase the water just a bit. You can later thin it down with additional water.
made this myself,superp,fantastic,mindblowing,history!!
Awesome recipe. i will try this.
Thanks!
