Jal Jeera Herbs and Spices
- 2 Tbsp - Cumin Seeds
- 2 Tbsp - Fennel Seeds
- 1 Tsp - Black Pepper
- 1 Tsp - Amchur Powder
- 1 Tsp - Black Salt
- 1 Cup - Mint Leaf
- 1 Cup - Tamarind
- 2 Pieces - Ginger (Optional)
Prep And Make Jaljeera Chutney
- Soak tamarind in hot water for at least 20 minutes; this will help soften the tamarind and make grinding easier.
- Rinse fresh mint leaves under cold running water for a few seconds. Discard all the excess liquid from the leaves and add them to a small grinder jar or blender. Avoid adding the stem of the leaf- it will make the Jaljeera taste too strong and bitter.
- Add the soaked tamarind along with its water. Be sure there are no seeds in the tamarind.
- Add the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, black pepper, and cardamom to the grinder.
- Add spices- amchur, chaat masala, asafoetida, and black salt as required.
- Grind the ingredients until they are finely and smoothly ground. If desired, keep this jaljeera chutney through a tea strainer for a smoother consistency.
Making Jaljeera
- Take the Jaljeera Chutney in a bowl and add water.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Add salt and dried mango powder if desired. Add some lemon juice if required too.
- Add some boondi, a pinch of chaat masala, and a few mint leaves in each glass while serving.
If you do not have dried mango powder, add lemon juice, kachri powder, or bael powder. For those who are allergic to black salt - try using edible rock salt or sea salt instead. Boondi can be soaked in water for at least 20 minutes before squeezing them and adding them while serving.
