Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain yogurt
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black salt (or regular salt)
- 1 small Green chili, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the plain yogurt until it is smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the cold water to the yogurt while whisking continuously to create a smooth, thin consistency. Adjust the water quantity if a thinner juice is desired.
Stir in the finely chopped mint leaves, coriander leaves, minced green chili, roasted cumin powder, black salt, and sugar. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Add the fresh lemon juice to the mixture and stir again.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more black salt for a tangier flavor or sugar for a slight sweetness.
Chill the yogurt juice in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve cold in glasses. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of roasted cumin powder, a mint leaf, or a slice of lime for an extra touch.
