Jaljeera Cooler

🇮🇳 Indian

Jaljeera, cumin-tamarind water that wakes up every nostril. The drinks that cool a subcontinent. Serve immediately, well chilled.

Prep 10 min Cook 1 min Serves 1 Easy

Ingredients

  • Mint Leaves1/4 cup
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Green Cardamom2, ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Get the ingredients cold; a lukewarm Indian drink is a broken promise.

  2. 2

    Add the mint leaves and roasted cumin to the blender jar.

  3. 3

    Whip it till frothy and uniform — lassi rules apply here.

  4. 4

    Add the tamarind paste and pulse once — enough to scent, not to shred.

  5. 5

    Pour over ice if using, dust with the garnish, and serve immediately in tall glasses.

Chef's tip

Chill the glasses; it matters more than the ice.
