    Jal jeera recipe | Indian drinks

    April 9, 2016 by Raks Anand 8 Comments /

    jal-jeera-drink-recipe
    Jal jeera is an Indian drink made with mint, coriander leaves, lemon and tamarind as main ingredients, along with flavourful spices.

    I have tasted only thrice in restaurants. When I made pani puri post, I clicked that time itself to post this one, but somehow was not satisfied with the clicks as well as I felt I should click when I make specifically Jal jeera. I used the same pictures for steps alone, but I made this drink last week. It’s very appetizing, aids in digestion as well. You need not wait for any season, just can make whenever you feel like.

    Coriander leaves – ¼ cup, packed

    Ginger – 2 tsp, chopped

    Tamarind – 1 tablespoon tightly packed

    Lemon - 1

    Jaggery - 1 tbsp

    Roasted cumin powder – 1 tsp

    Kala namak/ Black salt – 1 tsp

    Asafoetida - 1 pinch

    Cold water – 3 cups

    Jal jeera method

      1. Grind the clean mint, coriander leaves, ginger with little water smoothly.1-grind
      2. Extract tamarind juice by soaking it in hot water for 15 minutes. In a mixing bowl, place the rest of the ingredients, add the extracted tamarind juice. Squeeze in the lemon. The total water added can be 3 & ½ to 4 cups. Adjust salt as needed.2-ingredients
      3. Mix well and filter it. Keep refrigerated until use.3-mix

    Notes

    • You have to add tamarind and lemon juice as mentioned for balancing the mint and coriander leaves taste. If you add less, then you may get the raw – greeny smell of the herb.
    • Black salt and roasted jeera powder also plays the main role in the flavour.
    • Adjust salt, sugar and water as per your taste.
    • You can add amchoor powder in place of tamarind.

    Serve chilled with lots of boondi if you like on top!

      Black salt gives a unique flavor and it is very healthy to consume. Amchoor powder is just dried mango powder, it gives more tanginess to the recipe. If you want to replace black salt, use chaat masala.
