This drink is a specialty of konkan region of Maharashtra State. Konkan region has a rich history of mangoes. Every year we enjoy a variety of mangoes grown in Konkan. Our ancestral home is also situated there. I am very fortunate to learn some local dishes from my maternal and paternal grandmother. This drink is made during summer time. It is also a healthy substitute to the surgery drinks.
