- Add 3-4 cups of water and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles on high flame first then reduce the heat on low or for about 8 min.
- When the pressure settles down on its own, then remove the lid. The mangoes would have become soft. The peels would also come out when the mangoes are cooked well.

Notes
- If you want a restaurant-like touch in your drink, dip the rim of the glasses in water and then dip in powdered sugar or pink salt.
- Like to have a variation? Substitute the lime juice with orange juice and add some orange rind slices to the glass.
- You can also add some mango cubes into the drink for a nice bite in between the sips.
- If you are using canned mango puree, adjust the amount of sugar accordingly, as the canned puree is very sweet and you don’t want your drink to be extra sweet.
