RECIPE CARD:

BANANA STEM BUTTERMILK SOAKING TIME:- | PREPARATION TIME: 5 Min | COOKING TIME: - AUTHOR: KUZHALIS SAMAIYALARAI RECIPE TYPE: DRINKS CUISINE: SOUTH INDIAN SERVES: 2 PERSONS INGREDIENTS: 1 cup chopped Banana stem 2 cups buttermilk 1 green chilli 1 or 2 springs coriander leaves few curry leaves 1 inch piece ginger Salt to taste PREPARATION: First clean the banana stem and chop it roughly. Peel the skin of ginger and chop roughly and set aside. Clean and finely chop the coriander leaves and curry leaves and keep it aside. Beat the buttermilk (mor) and mix with enough water and set aside. METHOD: Grind the cleaned banana stem, green chillies and ginger into smooth paste by adding buttermilk. Then mix the ground paste with buttermilk. Add salt and chopped coriander leaves and curry leaves and mix well. Serve in the kalayam or glas as per your wish. VARIATION: If you want you can simply add the banana stem juice only with the salted buttermilk and drink. Adding little hing will give additional taste to the buttermilk. You can add few lemon leaves also while grinding to make it more flavourful. NOTES: Instead of adding the banana stem paste, you can grind it with water and extract the juice and then add with the buttermilk. In case if you want to filter you can grind them as coarse paste to make the filtering process easy. You can use few ice cubes also or use chilled buttermilk, but personally I don’t like to add ice cubes or use chilled buttermilk.  Instead I will use my small mud pot(Kalayam) to serve the buttermilk, which gives natural chillness to the buttermilk.

JIGARTHANDA (MADURAI SPECIAL) - BEAT THE HEAT - SUMMER COOLANT RECIPES

Jigarthanda is a yummy drink having Milk, badam pisin and nannari syrup as main ingredients. It is a rich and scrumptious drink loaded with cooling properties so it is perfect to drink during summer. This jigarathanda is very popular in Madurai, tamilnadu.

Then main ingredient in authentic jigarthanda is Almond gel (Badam Pisin). It is very good to cool our body from heat. It is good for kids also during summer to reduce the body heat.

It tastes great even with simple chilled sweetened milk with any flavours. I am planning to post various drink with this badam pisin here in the coming days.

The another important cooling ingredient is sarsaparilla syrup(Nannari syrup). It is very good to beat the body heat in summer. We can make juices/sarbath with this flavourful nannari syrup.

During my child hood, my father would brought a big full bottle of nannari syrup during summer and will make sarbath and have it on daily basis at afternoon time.

The third main ingredient milk will be boiled till it becomes thick to make this drink. This reduced milk will gives nice taste and richness and makes it yummy.

During my chldhood i have never tasted this jigarthanda, not even seen :). Later while working I  have first tasted this jigarthanda at murugan Idly kadai few times and also once in Madurai.too. Then I became a very big fan for this delicious jigarthanda.

Actually I have already posted one simple version of jigarthanda in my blog. Please check the below link

• Jigarthanda (Simpler Version)

Please check the below links for mawa nad caramel syrup recipe

• Mawa/Khoya(instant version)
• Caramel Syrup(using Brown sugar)

Please check the other summer coolants drinks given below if you are interested.

• Fenu Greek Buttermilk(Venthaya mor)
• Lemon leaves Buttermilk(Elumichai elai mor)
• Gooseberry Buttermilk(Nellikkaai mor)
• Cucumber Buttermilk(Velleri kaai mor)

But in this recipe I have added/changed few things in this recipe.They are khoya/mawa and caramelsyrup. In simpler version I just added sugar with the milk. But here I added caramel syrup which gives nice flavor to this jigarthada and almost gives that authentic flavor and taste. I got this idea of adding caramel syrup from a youtube video. I loved the flavor of using caramel in this jigarathanda and it closely meets the authentic taste.

Another ingredient is khoya/mawa. It is nothing but the milk is reduces until it comes to solid state. Here I have used instant mawa using milk powder. But you can use the mawa which was prepared in traditional way, which is from milk.

Ok now coming to the recipe.

Then pour the boiled and chilled thick milk up to ¾ of the glass. Place a good big scoop of ice cream on the top and serve!! Yummy jigarthanda will make you chill even in high heat :)  NOTES: Instead of badam pisin you can use plain agar agar jelly (unflavored). Instead of sarsaparilla (Nannari) syrup you can use rose syrup too. Instead of caramel syrup you can use plain sugar also, but caramel will gives nice flavor. You can avoid khoya and can add thickened milk only. Adjust the quantities of the badam pisin, milk, nannari syrup and caramel syrup according to you taste and the size of the glass you are using. Sometimes nannari syrup will be already having sweetness. So adjust the caramel syrup/sugar accordingly. Instead of boiling and thickening the milk, you can use evaporated milk also. You can use any flavor of icecream.
