Tamarind is rich in fiber and has no fat content. Studies suggest that eating tamarind daily might actually help in weight reduction since it contains flavonoids

IMLI KA AMLANA

Tamarind is a rich source of magnesium, potassium, iron, vitamin B and provides other essential amino acids, antioxidants and vitamin C to  the body. It is great for digestion and when combined with sugar & cumin, it acts as a natural coolant in summers.

This is one such refreshing drink which I used to make it on a regular basis in the months of summer. This imli ka panna drink will surely help you make tasty and tantalizing 100% natural drink at home.

INGREDIENTS:

Dry Tamarind (Imli) – 1 cup 
White Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 6 cups
Black Salt/Kala Namak - 3/4 tsp
Crushed Black Pepper / kali mirch powder – 1/4 tsp 
Roasted cumin powder/Bhuna Jeera – 1/2 tbsp
Cardamom powder (Elaichi) - 1/4 tsp

Mint Leaves
Ice Cubes
Water

INstructionS :

1. Wash the dry tamarind chunks thoroughly. Transfer them in a bowl with 1 cup of hot water to it. Soak it for at least 2-3 hours.

2. Tamarind must have soaked by now and turned soft and mushy. Place a sieve on a bigger bowl and transfer soaked tamarind along with water on it. With the help of spoon keep mashing the tamarind till all its pulp is extracted completely.


3. In a kadai or heavy bottom pan, add tamarind pulp mine will come almost 2 cups so I added 4 cups of water along with 1 cup of sugar. Simmer it till sugar dissolves and stir continuously for about 20 minutes on full flame. 


4. Add black salt, black pepper powder, and roasted cumin powder. Mix well. I would advise to taste panna at this stage and adjust the salt or spices little bit as per your taste if required.

5. Simmer it more 5 to 10 minutes and then lastly add cardamom powder. Cook for another 5 minutes, switch off the flame. Cool it properly and then store the preserved into sterilized bottle. Keep the preservative into fridge.
