⏺️Serving - You can serve this cake chilled (since thandai is usually served chilled) or warm it up in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to get it all warm and melty.

Imli ka Panna is a tangy, sweet & sour refreshing summer cooler made using tamarind pulp & sweetened using sugar and seasoned with few spices. This is similar to traditional Rajasthani beverage “Amlana”. 

This drink is so refreshing, absolutely delicious and very healthy drink to cool off during a hot summer. 🌞 From boosting your immunity to keeping your liver and heart safe from diseases, tamarind do your health a world of good. 

VIDEO RECIPE OF IMLI KA SHARBAT

Tamarind is rich in fiber and has no fat content. Studies suggest that eating tamarind daily might actually help in weight reduction since it contains flavonoids

Tamarind is a rich source of magnesium, potassium, iron, vitamin B and provides other essential amino acids, antioxidants and vitamin C to  the body. It is great for digestion and when combined with sugar & cumin, it acts as a natural coolant in summers.

This is one such refreshing drink which I used to make it on a regular basis in the months of summer. This imli ka panna drink will surely help you make tasty and tantalizing 100% natural drink at home. 

Imli ka Panna Preserve

You can make a preserve of Imli ka Panna and use it as when required. Store this focus in refrigerator for 15-20 days. When ready to use, just add 5-6 tbsp of concentrate or adjust according to your taste in serving glasses and top up with ice and water. Add a few mint leaves to give more freshness to the drink.

In India, Imli or tamarind are profoundly used in curries and sambar dal. Here are few summer recipes that you might like to try apart from

This frozen yogurt bark with mango is the perfect refreshing snack. It’s so easy to whip up, healthy and packed with protein. You’ll want a batch in your freezer at all times.

This recipe is super simple to make – it’s the perfect recipe to involve your kids in. 

Frozen Yogurt Bars Ingredients

plain yogurt – I personally like using full-fat yogurt for yogurt bars because it’s thicker and a bit more rich, but you can use regular plain yogurt... if that’s all you have and low-fat yogurt  & for my vegans friends can use Greek yogurt.

Sugar or honey – I used sugar in it because my mangoes are not too sweet and if it’s not bough sweet you can use honey too. If you want to keep the recipe super low in sugar you can use plain yogurt without sweetening it, but I think it tastes really good with a little maple syrup.

Mango– you can use any fresh mango chunks  you like, but I love the swirls in it, so I use purée for bars and purée to makes swirls inside the bars 😋😀 you can use any fruits of your choice.

Tutti frutti for garnish - you can use anything, it perfectly goes with dry fruits and great going with coconut flakes

One of my favorite recipes to use to cool off with are these frozen fruit bars. They are so simple to make, and they are better for you than most of the ice cream bars and other frozen treats that you will normally find at the store because they are made with fresh yogurt. 

In my family, we all are big fan of ice cream, but as you all know, ice cream isn’t always the healthiest dessert option. That is why I decided to replicate some of the fresh ice cream bars into this.

You can use the same mango yogurt mixture into popsicles too, I made that way also but forget to click it.
