Get Refreshed and Quench your thirst with KALA KHATTA



It was a sunny day. I was on a whole day out for shopping. As I came back home after shopping I started feeling very thirsty. It was a thirst for some refreshing drink.

But as I opened my refrigerator I couldn't find any cold beverages to drink. However, I found some black plum lying in a bowl. So, I decided to do some experiment and try my hands on making  KAALA KHATTA . The best part about this mocktail is that it just needs 5 handy ingredients which are easily available in every kitchen.

KAALA KHATTA

  • 2 tablespoons castor sugar
  • ½ teaspoon black salt

  • Some white salt to line the brim of your glass

Directions:
  1. Remove the seeds from jamun and keep it in a bowl.
  2. Take a saucepan and boil jamun, water, sugar together until the pulp is softened.
  3. Keep the prepared pulp in the refrigerator and let it cool down for 1-2 hrs.
  4. Blend the pulp and then strain the same.
  5. Now add the remaining ingredients and mix well. 
  6. To serve, line a  glass with salt by first wiping the brim with a wet cloth and then placing inverted over salt spread in a plate.
