Jigarthanda is very famous in madurai.it is very nice drink to have it in summer.

It might have a strange name JigarThanda which is a combination of two hindi words Jigar (Heart) and Thanda(cold), so it roughly translates into heart cooler. I have no idea whether it actually does it but it does taste great.

Ingredients

2½ cup Milk

3 T Badam pisin

2 T Rose syrub

Or

75 g sarsaparila syrub

Ice cream

Instructions

Soak Badham pisin for abt 8hrs, after soaking, badam pisin will be in jelly form.

Boil milk till it becomes half of the quantity & till it turns into pale yellow color.

Leave it to cool & refrigerate the milk.

Now fill half of the glass with chilled milk, add badam pisin, rose syrup and finally add ice cream. Taste a cool & fine Jigarthanda.

Notes

Milk consistency should be thick and then only Jigarthanda will be tasty.The measurement is given for one cup.Badam pisin is in such a way it enlarges itself when it is soaked in water, so small piece is enough to turn into a huge amount.Original jigarthanda will be prepared by china grass & either u can use sarasapilla syrup or rose syrup. Still in some of the shops in madurai use badam pisin for jigarthanda.China grass called, kadal pasi or edible algae.Sarasapaila syrup is called nannari syrup.

Where you can get?

There are several places in the Madurai city where you can buy this drink but if you want the authentic and want to try the original recipe, head for 3rd or 4th shop on Manjanakkara Street, Madurai and ask someone for the old Jigarthanda shop and they would point you to a one room shop which sells this delicacy. This shop is run by a family member whose family has been traditionally selling this drink for generations. Be aware of the fake imitations which sell the same drink on push-carts on the road.

How was it? Tasty?

Famous Jigarthanda Shop at East Marret Street is the one which is now very famous which can be vouchsafed by the crowd standing always in front of the shop thus proving its inimitable taste. This shop is below Corporation Bank and opposite to Dr.O.K.Srinivasan's clinic.
