This refreshing drink is prepared in just a few minutes and combines green grapes, lemon, mint, and spicy spices. Its sweet and sour taste will be a special addition to your summer, especially if served with soda or Sprite.
Shikanji is indispensable in humid weather, but often the image that comes to mind is only lemon shikanji. However, constantly consuming the same flavor can cause boredom. Therefore, it is recommended to try 'Anguri Shikanji', made from green grapes and lemon. This drink is a fruity and refreshing variation of classic masala shikanji, combining the sweetness of grapes, the tartness of lemon, and the spicy taste of spices. Chef Kunal Kapoor shared this recipe on Instagram.
How to make 'Anguri Shikanji'
To begin, place green grapes, sugar, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, black salt, black pepper, chaat masala, and regular salt into a blender jar. Add mint leaves and a little cold water, then blend all ingredients thoroughly. Once the grapes are well crushed and a smooth mixture is obtained, it can be used. If you prefer an absolutely smooth shikanji, strain the prepared mixture through a fine sieve.
Next, put many ice cubes in a glass. Then add the prepared grape mix. Gently pour cold Sprite or soda water over it and stir slightly. Finish by garnishing with fresh mint leaves or grapes and serve immediately. You can also place the drink in the refrigerator to chill it slightly.
Thanks to the combination of the sweetness of green grapes, the tartness of lemon, and the spiciness of chaat masala, 'Anguri Shikanji' becomes a very refreshing drink. It is perfect for entertaining guests in the summer and rainy season. Making this drink at home is simple and takes only a few minutes.
