My mom tips -

*Use less or more sugar according to the sournress of mango pulp.
If needed more sugar add accordingly.
*Use roasted cumin powder and black salt as per your taste.
If you like more cumin seeds powder use as per your taste.
*you can  ditectly roast green mango in  on gas stove fire on medium heat untill it become tender. Cool down completely and peel off the skin and use the mangoes pulp as required.
Roasting in a fire gives panna a smoky flavour taste.

That's all for today.
