Jal jeera / Jaljeera is a famous drink from North India made during summer and for Holi festival.Jal jeera is nothing but abbreviated form of Jal – Water and Jeera – Cumin Seeds.I loved the flavour and tanginess of the drink and is perfect for summers.It is very tangy and has a strong flavour from all the spices and spice powders. The taste is more like the pani we taste with pani puri and so pani puri lovers am sure you are going to love this too.You can make this and store, have it as a summer drink or have it as pani puri 🙂
