Forget cold drinks in summer! Drinking this Rajasthani drink will keep your body cool and cool

One should not stay in the air of AC all day, it will damage the body. Electricity bills also increase. But how to keep the body cool? Cold drinks contain various harmful chemicals, so they cannot be consumed regularly. But the outside temperature is increasing day by day. To solve such problems, people of Rajasthan invented a novel food long ago. Can it be called food or drink?

When the temperature in Rajasthan’s Barmer, Jaisalmer, Bikanir exceeds 45 degrees, the people there naturally die of heatstroke. At that time they prepare a dish, which is between food and drink. Sour-sweet in taste, the body is strengthened from the inside. Performance also increases. Although the name of this dish is Rabri (Rajasthani rabdi), it is quite different from the known Bengali Rabri in every sense. There is no sugar in it! Ghol is used instead of milk. You need to prepare joar or millet flour.

Why is this Rajasthani Rabri popular?

According to locals, this food has several benefits, such as—
• Helps keep the body cool.
• May reduce the risk of dehydration.
• Improves digestion.
• Provides performance.

Materials—

• 2 tbsp millet or jowar flour

Many villages in western Rajasthan continue to eat this rabri during summer. Even in some areas ‘Rabri Day’ is celebrated on the occasion of ‘Jaishtha Shukla Chaturthi’. Many call it ‘Chach Rabri’.
