Yes ! You read that right. During the summers we prepare a variety of healthy home made juice rather than buy soda outside. It is not only natural but also harmless since we use no preservatives and instead refrigerate for a day or two at the most and finish it off ! This juice is in this category – tasting is believing.
What you need to have:
1. Green gram – 1 cup
2. Chopped jaggery – 1 cup ( approx )
3. Cardamom powder – 1 teaspoon
4. White pepper powder – A little
Ingredients of Green gram juice
What you do with what you have:
1. Wash green gram and drain water completely. Place a skillet on low flame and dry roast green gram in it for about 15 minutes till you get a pleasant aroma and never get burnt.
2. Peal cardamom and add it to the roasted gram. Chop jaggery as well and keep it aside.
