WOOD APPLE JUICE

As I have already prepared three dishes like wood apple chutney, wood apple pachadi and wood apple rice,  out of one wood apple by dividing into four portions, the fourth post is  juice.  After preparing the three items, i did not get time to try this hence had kept the pulp in the fridge.  When my neighbour came, I asked her whether she would like to taste it, she agreed.  I had some water in a bottle in the fridge so prepared it and was awesome.

Let us look at the recipe now:


Ingredients:

2 tbsp wood apple pulp ( i had got the raw one hence it was bit sour)
1/4 cup jaggery grated
1 glass cold water
1 tsp honey
little bit of black salt, dry ginger powder

Method:

add the jaggery in the water in a bowl and mash it with the back of the spoon to melt it.  when it is done, add the pulp in it and mix well.  add the black salt as per taste, ginger powder and mix well.  strain it with the tea strainer and serve chilled.  I picked up the wood apple bit raw hence it was sour in taste.  while selecting the apple, you should feel light when held in hand and should get the ripe smell.  Ripe ones are not sour hence can mix up pulp and jaggery and consumed.


The below mentioned juice is without sugar or jaggery.  My husband cannot consume jaggery or sugar, i made it only with  black salt, dry ginger powder, this too was really good.
