Beat heat with Gond Katira

Summers are here. Today I want to share a simple, basic, unheard of, unique food that helps to beat the heat in the body. It keeps you cool, helps to get rid of acidity, excessive heat, prickly heat, bleeding nose etc in the summer time. This age old wonder has been told to me by my mom. It is called Gond Katira/Gum Katira Sap. It has high protein, thiamine, folic acid, riboflavin and niacin.

This is how it looks like


You soak this much overnight in water and this is what you get in morning.



I have it as it is. But to make it tastier, you can add little ice cold milk, lassi/buttermilk, yogurt, rooh afza or other sweetener of your choice.
