Jigarthanda Recipe with step by step pictures. This is a healthy and delicious drink that is just perfect for hottest south Indian summers.
Jigarthanda
Jigarthanda is always my favourite. Whenever we go to exhibition here, i used to get myself a glass and gulp it in no time. I somehow loved the cool sweet milk along with the jelly like texture in it. Traditionally they use badam pisin instead of agar agar, but i couldn't find it so used this.

I have tasted in chennai murugan idly kadai.. they hav a taste of a vanilla custard mixed with a dallop of icecream on top and agar agar(kadal passi). so can we add vannila essence instead of rose essence? as im not that fan of rose syrup

@Anonymousif u like u can use. but add more sugar in milk because vanilla essence doesn't have any sweetness.

Jigardhanda is made of only by Paal kova (milk kova) and badam pisin... Tey r not adding sarbath... Actually dat color will come from soaked badam pisin... Badam pisin is literally little expensive... So most of the shops are not using it... Instead of dat tey using agar agar... And tey dont add sugar.. Tey add only special nannari sarbath and paal kova for sweet... For garnish ice cream...
but ur ingredients are not bad... It is useful for beginners.. 🙂 am sorry 🙏 if am wrong ... ThaNk u! 💫

Hallo Aarti,
The recipe looks so simple and the pictures ultimate.
One doubt please, is Rose syrup and Rose essence is the same ? Am in abroad, I got only Rose essence in Supermarkt here. If Rose essence is okie, can you please tell me the procedure for the same.
Aarthi
No rose syrup has sugar in them. Rose essence is just pure flavouring no sugar added.
Here is the link for rose syrup. If you have only rose essence, add few drops of pink colour in that
