Jaljeera with mint and boondi float, the Ganga-ghat summer cooler. Cold, sweet-scented relief from an Indian summer. Best on a veranda in May, frankly.

Prep 5 min Cook 8 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1
Chill everything first — glasses, liquid, the works — cold is the texture.
2
Combine the tamarind paste with the mint leaves in a blender or bowl.
3
Blend or whisk until smooth and slightly frothy; taste for sweetness.
4
Add the roasted cumin and pulse once — enough to scent, not to shred.
5
Pour over ice if using, dust with the garnish, and serve immediately in tall glasses.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
