"Chutney"...an integral part of our Indian thali. We Indians do have lot of varieties of chutneys to accomplish our lunch, breakfast, dinner, snacks etc.
Chutneys can be both sweet and savory. We have mint chutney, coriander chutney, coconut chutney, tomato chutney, garlic chutney and lots more.. These chutneys not only have a good impact on our body and digestive system but also enhance the taste of the food.
Here I will give a recipe of a drink with chutney flavor and taste... and with the goodness of spices I have added in the drink. Though the name is unusual but not the taste. Your very own chutney served as a chilled drink.
Tamarind Chutney Cooler
Tamarind - a tennis ball size( 100gms)
Seedless
Black salt - 2 tsp
Sugar- 2 cups
Salt- 2tsp
Dry Roasted Zeera(Cumin) Powder- 2tsp
Ajwain (carrom) - 2tsp
Red Chilli Powder - 2tsp
Water- 600ml +250 ml
In a heavy buttom pan take tamarind and 600ml water and put it on the gas. Let it boil for 5 mins. Then add sugar, salt and all other spices and boil again for 10 mins. Now strain the liquid and bring out all the pulp from tamarind.
Now again keep the liquid on the stove. Let it reduce upto a chutney consistency. Taste the chutney and balance the seasoning. It is very important. Let it cool down completely. This can be stored in fridge for future use.
In a glass add 3 1/2 tbsp of chutney mixture and add 250ml of cold water. Blend well and add ice to the drink and serve..
