Jal Jeera Paani | A refreshing summer drink

Tweet

Mr.A makes it a point that we eat out atleast twice a month... Now thats atleast :)... We usually eat every weekend these days... Come on.. With all the most expected films releasing every week. We had Pirates of Caribbean and then Kung-fu Panda 2 in a row.
Both of us love kebabs for no reason... They are laded with flavors and we both join hands to pour our love towards RESHMI KEBAB... So as the tale goes, we love kebabs and we usually visit the Kebab Court @ Velachery...

But then I got bored, Hubby got bored and so for a change we visited the Dhaba (of Karaikudi Restaurant). We went in, ordered our starters and were waiting... waiting for a surprise... Surprised we were, when the waiter came and served us Jaljeera paani in mud pots. It was me who first blurted out "We didn't order this" when the waiter laughed and declared it as a compliment... Oh yeah that's cool. We had a sip.. another... and yet another... Sips turned out to become glasses (in this case, pots). Finally we ended up with 3 pots each... The moral of the story, we were totally in love with the drink. So drilled down to a recipe after googling and tried it at home... We loved this one too...
