Kairi Ka Panna is a very refreshing drink made especially during the summer time in India when mangoes are in season. It is served when anyone comes in from the hot sun. The touch of black salt and cumin powder gives a unique taste to this appetizer. Don’t be surprised if you are hungry after having this drink.
In Gujarat it is also known as Kachi Keri no Baflo .This drink is usually as a delicious appetizer . It is also known for its heat resistance properties.
