An amazingly so very Indian drink, this is a lovely coolant and a big rescue from the scorching heat of the sun and needless to say, it is an everyday affair at our Iftaar in Ramadan. It is very rightly referred to as Flavoured Indian Lemonade. Made with such useful ingredients, it is helpful in digestion too and is a perfect appetizer. Enjoy it chilled for that thanda thanda cool cool and lemony mazaa that is so very synonymous with this drink.

Happy Chilling Friends!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
