Hot summer is at its peak and you are looking for some cooling relief. You’ve enjoyed several seasonal favorites like Mango-Smoothie, Masala-Chhaas (Buttermilk), Aam-Panna etc. but now you are looking for something different to quench your thirst. So, here is a tasty and healthy drink for you to enjoy this summer: “Cranberry – Yogurt drink”. Cranberries have a unique “sweet-and-sour” taste along with several health benefits. Cranberries are often referred to as “superfood” due to their high nutrient and antioxidant contents. They are low in calories and are a great source of vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin K. I am sure, you would want to give this super easy and uber-cool drink a try to conquer the hot weather.
Ingredients:
- ½ Cup- Dried Cranberries
- ½ Cup- Curd/Yogurt (Dahi)
- 2 teaspoons- Sugar (preferably organic)
- 1 teaspoon- Cumin powder (Jeera powder)
- 1 teaspoon- Black salt (Kala Namak)
- Lemon (optional)
Method:
- Soak the dried cranberries in ⅓ cup of fresh water for 20-30 minutes.
- Take soaked cranberries with water (which was used for soaking) in a grinding jar and grind it into a paste.
- Now add curd/ yogurt, sugar, black salt, cumin powder and ¼ cup water into the jar. And grind for 2 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.
- Transfer into glasses and garnish with mint leaves and lemon. Optionally squeeze some lemon into the drink for tangy flavour.
- Serve chilled (add ice cubes if needed).
Note: In this recipe I’ve used dried cranberries but you can take fresh ones too and just skip the soaking step (as they are already soft and juicy).
