Traditionally in this sharbat mangoes were first roasted over hot charcoal and the sharbat was made with cold water from earthen pots or Matka. It is believed that roasting the mango over an open fire or charcoal reduces the heat of the fruit. Which helps in balancing the body temperature, protects from the scorching heat of the summer and dehydration. Also, it gives a much needed instant energy boost.

Oh my!! Roasted mangoes sounds so delicious! I can just imagine the flavors it imparts when roasted over charcoals! I guess, unless we have a barbecue grill, we have to make do with an open flame 🙂 Fabulous share dear; a unique Bengali treat for rest of the world to enjoy!
