Instructions

Soak 1/8 cup of green gram dal for 5-6 hours until it turns soft.
In a blender place 3 tablespoon of soaked green gram, coconut, cardamom and jaggery powder.
Add 2 to 2 1/2 cups of water and blend it well.
Strain this mixture and mix dry ginger powder.
Transfer it to a serving glass and serve with ice cubes if required.

Recipe Notes

Jaggery can be increased to ½ cup if you want more sweetness.

Additional Tips

For extra creaminess, blend in a few soaked cashews along with the coconut and green gram; this also enhances the drink’s richness and mouthfeel.
If you prefer a chilled sherbet, refrigerate the blended mixture for at least an hour before serving, or add a handful of crushed ice just before consumption for an instantly cool refreshment.
To create a vegan and lactose-free version, ensure you use only fresh coconut water or filtered water instead of any milk, as traditional recipes sometimes include milk for dilution.
Garnish each glass with a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds or finely chopped fresh mint for a subtle crunch and an aromatic twist that complements the drink’s flavors.
