Green chillies pickle/Mirchi Achar

I am 100%sure this is something new for you.I can say it because I never come across this type of pickle so far, my Ammi(Mom)makes it during summer and the best part you can have it with boiled rice & plain Dal(Split pigeon pea).

There are some people who add very less chilies in their food but when comes to pickle they cannot stop themselves(eye witnessed ;)). Prepare a large batch of green chili pickles and enjoy it whole year.

Roohafza & Almond Milkshake

Do you know the literally meaning of Rooh Afza?        

Some of you may know and do not worry even if you do not know I will explain you.

Rooh afza literally means the drink that nurtures your soul. Rooh meaning ‘Soul’ & afza means ‘enhancing or increasing’.No wonder this drink work as refreshner to the soul who had it will agree with me.

Rooh Afza is concentrated syrup made with fruits & vegetable extracts.Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed is the person behind this cooler invented in 1906.They are very popular drink and their sale scale increases during Ramadan.There are large numbers of people who break their fast with Rooh afza.Moreover, we do not need to refrigerate the bottle after opening it first time unlike other syrups, which are settled in refrigerator and do not evacuate the place unless we finish it to the last. ;)

I’ve got chance to taste Pakistani Rooh Afza and I must say Indian Rooh Afza is much better and I can differentiate it very easily because I’ve been drinking it from my childhood. :D

This is most loved drink and always present in our home,my Abbu never forget to purchase Rooh Afza.

There are variety of ways to consume it and they are good remedy for hot summer winds.

You make a Sharbat or Kulfi and Faloodeh all tastes yum-yum.

Raw Mango & Mint Dip/Kairi Pudina Chutney

We, Indians savour chutney with so many fritter and cannot imagine Samosa without chutney. There are so many variety of chutney and this one is seasonal. Raw mango is one of the main ingredients and when my Ammi bought them, I could not wait to make chutney.

Lemonade/Nimbu Paani

Lemonade has also known as limu paani or Nimbu Paani. This is the most popular and effortless drink. Roadside vendors serve one glass in 5-6 INR, but this very refreshing and quench thirst quickly. Everyone make it with little variation by adding ginger juice or pudina. Lemons are natural antibiotics and kill germs. When use with baking soda act as cleaner and remove stains on plastic food containers.
