Authentic Tangy JaljeeraVeg

1

Place the roasted cumin seeds and black salt in a mortar and pestle. Pound them together until they reach a coarse, powdery consistency where small granules are still noticeable.

2

In a mixer or grinder, combine the fresh mint leaves, coriander leaves, the prepared cumin and black salt powder, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of water. Grind everything together well to form a smooth green paste.

3

Transfer the green paste into a jar or pitcher. Add cold water to the mixture and stir thoroughly to combine.

4

Taste the drink and adjust the levels of black salt or lemon juice according to your preference. Serve the Jaljeera chilled in a glass, garnished with a sprinkle of boondi if desired.
