Mango Nungu Milk / Mambalam Nungu Paal / Mango Ice-apple Milk

Palm fruit, also known as Nungu or Ice-apple, is lovely jelly like fruit available during hot summers in India. It has a mild sweet taste and jelly like texture. Nungu has many many health benefits and is rich in Vitamin A, B and C, Iron Zinc, Phosphorous, Potassium and lots more. It helps to cool the body and helps to reduce exceeding white discharge in women. Its the best coolant for summer and beat the heat with this recipe. The recipe is very easy and quick to make and is very delicious. The mango flavor along with the bits of nungu makes the recipe delicious and rich. You can also make this recipe without mangoes and it will also taste good. I have discussed both preparations here.
