Watermelon Splash
Ingredients
1/2 Watermelon
2 Big Lemons
4 Spoon Sugar
6-7 Pudina Leaves
1/4 Spoon Chaat Masala
1/4 Spoon Jeera Powder
Pinch of Black Pepper Powder
Salt to taste

Method
  • Dice the watermelon and add it to the mixer bowl.
  • Add in lemon juice, sugar, pudina leaves, salt, chaat masala, jeera powder.

Notes
Since I was so waiting to drink this, to chill it faster, i kept it in fridger for 10 minutes :) Alternatively you can also use already chilled watermelon so that you dont need to wait even 10 minutes :)

Kokam Sarbat
Ingredients
10-12 Kokam

You can serve it on ice, but then use 1/2 cup less water so that the taste of the sarbat itsn't diluted.

Melon Lassi


Couple of weeks back I tried this unique experiment. I had one old melon sitting in the fridge so was curd, so thats what lead to this recipe.

Melon Lassi
Ingredients
1 Melon
6 Cup Curd
5 Spoon Sugar
A pinch of Vanilla Essence
Salt to taste

Method
  • Chop the complete melon into small piece
  • Keep aside few pieces for garnishing and grind rest of them in the mixie to make the juice.
  • Strain the juice and add it to curd.
  • Add sugar, salt, vanilla essence and again mix in the mixie
  • Garnish with the melon pieces and serve chilled.

Notes
I used sweet thick curd, and didnt need to add any water because the melon juice was enough to lighten the curd to Lassi

Piyush


When I was small, Dad use to take me to walk from FC Road to Laxmi-road every thursday. I use to love those walks just because at the end of walk on Laxmi-road in Janata Dugdha Mandir he use to give me 'Piyush' for drink. I love this drink so much so that whenever I go to pune I end up drinking this too much :) Then last couple of years back mom started preparing this at home with exact taste and bhooom.. Yesterday I wanted to do same thing and here I got it.

Piyush
Ingredients
5 Cup Curd
1 Lemon
8 Spoon Sugar
A Pinch of Nutmeg powder
A Pinch of Lemon Yellow Colour
Salt to taste

Method
  • Mix curd, sugar, nutmeg powder, salt, lemon yello colour and lemon juice
  • Mix around 2-3 cups of water to get the flowing consitency for the mixture
  • Beat this mixture for a while till sugar mixes completely
  • Serve chilled

Notes
Use thick milk to prepare the curd, and don't make curd sour. The lemon gives the enough sourness for the perfect taste.
PS: Sometimes because of lemon's bitterness this turns out little bitter, So today, I tried using 1/2 spoon of vinegar instead and it gave amazing effect, no bitterness at all and perfect taste.

Coconut Lassi


When I had read about this recipe I hadn't thought that it would turn out such wonderful and dellicious stuff.. You must try this :)

Coconut Lassi
Ingredients
1/2 Coconut
1 Cup Chakka
8 Spoon Sugar
A pinch of Cardamom Powder
A pinch of Safron
Salt to taste

Method
  • Grate the coconut and grind it mixing some water and strain to get the coconut milk
  • Mix chakka, safron, cardamom powder, sugar and salt and grind it in the mixie
  • Add the coconut milk to it and again grind for few minutes
  • Add ice and grind if the mixture is too thick
  • Garnish with Safron and Serve Chilled

Notes
Chakka can be bought readymade or can be prepared at home. Actually i kept 1 cup chakka aside when I prepared it for Shrikhand. The recipe for Chakka is present in both these recipies : Shrikhand and Amrakhand
Normally i use light coconut milk from fresh coconut hence i did not add ice, but if you are using readymade coconut milk which is very thick add either ice or water. 3 cups of ready made coconut milk, 1 cup ice/water would be sufficient for 1 cup chakka

1 Spoon Corn Flour
1 Spoon Curd
3 Spoon Sugar
4-5 Ice Cubes

  • Boil remaining milk with constant stiring
  • When the milk boils add the corn flour - milk powder mixture to it and boil for another 4 - 5 minutes
  • Let the milk cool down a little

Stir the milk continuously and do not let it form the malai. Also I used the full cream milk so that curd becomes thick.

Pomegranate Refresher


Last few weeks we had been getting lots of pomegranate at home mainly because we had been having cold too often and sour fruits are completely no no.. Yesterday when I took out pomegranate from fridge, I thought of making its juice but which will have little sourness in it so that we get some vitamin c contents and also it has chatpata taste. So here is my own experiment with the pomegranate.

Pomegranate Refresher
Ingredients
2 pomogranate
2 lemon
1/2 green chilli
3 spoon sugar
1.5 glass water
A pinch of ginger paste

Method
  • Separate pomegranate seeds along with its juicy cover
  • In a mixie, grind these pomegranate seeds, sugar, ginger paste to make fine paste
  • Add water, and lemon juice to it and grind again
  • Filter out the juice to remove seeds

Notes
You can serve it with ice and chilled but since we have cold problem we took it at normal temparature and it tasted well
