Tangy Imli ka Amlana / Rajasthani Cuisine
Written by Jayashree

Imli ka Amlana is a refreshing, sweet and tangy drink from Rajasthani cuisine. It is used as an appetiser.

I am in search of good refreshing drinks, something that soothes the mind and body or some new recipe with mango as it’s simmer.

Imli ka amlana is a drink from Rajasthani cuisine that is usually served with the main course. It is a tangy, refreshing, digestive drink ideal for summer.

Many of you must be familiar with Aam ka Panna, it is similar to that drink. Raw mangoes are used in aam ka panna, here tamarind pulp is used. But, this needs no cooking and can be made anytime as mangoes are seasonal.

This month in the Recipe Swap Challenge, I had to prepare a dish from Priya Iyer’s blog the photowali.wordpress.com She has a good collection of recipes, some go back to the good old days of Tamilans. Do check her blog. After going through her blog, came down to three chosen ones and finally decided to make this Imli Ka Amlana. I am happy I tried this, shall make it again.

Tangy Imli ka Amlana / Rajasthani Cuisine

A few summer treats from my blog are here. Punjabi lassi is not only refreshing but loved by all. The cucumber lassi is ideal for all age group.

Let’s make Imli ka Amlana:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup tamarind pulp
  • 8 teaspoon jaggery
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black salt
  • 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 2 cups water
  • mint leaves for garnishing

Method:

  1. Soak tamarind for fifteen minutes and extract the pulp.
  2. Take all the powder and grind them to a fine powder.
  3. Add jaggery in tamarind pulp.
  4. Put the spice mix, add water, mix, chill it in refigerator.
  5. Garnish with mint leaf and serve

Take a tip:

  • Sugar is usually added, but I have added jaggery. Brown sugar can also be used.
  • If you have ready tamarind powder, you can use it.
  • The jaggery that I used is of good quality, hence I did not strain it.

Salivating reading the recipe. Sounds like a really refreshing drink. This looks like the tamarind juice we make for Rama navami.

The only things I think of using imli in is for chutneys, sambhars, dals. Never would have thought that one can make a delicious drink out of it. Full of Vitamin C, it must be such a refreshing summer drink.
