MOHABBAT KA SHARBAT

I’m always up for trying new things in my kitchen and this time, I decided to experiment and include watermelon jelly instead of watermelon chunks. The jelly is made with fresh watermelon juice only and tastes equally good. This Mohabbat Ka Sharbat, in my personal opinion is more appealing and gives a very different mouthfeel to the drink. I say you give this a try!

INGREDIENTS USED IN MOHABBAT KA SHARBAT

• Watermelon

Mohabbat ka Sharbat typically consists of watermelon chunks but I’m using it to extract the juice and make watermelon jelly. The flavour profile will remain exactly the same as the traditional recipe. Make sure that the watermelon is ripe and red to get the best colour and flavour in the drink

• Agar agar

The recipe is a vegetarian recipe and agar agar is a vegetarian substitute for gelatine. It is a seaweed-based setting agent that is very crucial in setting of the watermelon jelly and holding its shape.

• Sugar

The summer drink in itself is not naturally sweet, hence, it requires added sugar. I have used castor sugar but you can use any sugar of your choice. Granulated and icing sugar both work well.

• Milk

It is the prime ingredient in my Mohabbat ka Sharbat recipe. It is the base of the drink and is added with rose flavour to complete the drink. A full fat milk will yield a smoother and creamier drink but you can opt for any milk based of your health and nutrient requirements.

• Rose syrup

I have used this rose syrup to make Mohabbat ka Sharbat. It adds sweetness and colour to the milk. It also gives the distinct rose flavour to the drink that pairs beautifully with the watermelon

EQUIPMENTS USED IN MAKING MOHABBAT KA SHARBAT

Very basic home staple equipment goes into making this Mohabbat Ka Sharbat.

A good blender is required first to make the watermelon juice and a good strainer to extract the juice.

You also need a saucepan to heat the mixture and make watermelon jelly.

My set of Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons always come in handy and are the most important part of any recipe.

TIPS TO MAKE MOHABBAT KA SHARBAT

Agar agar doesn’t activate and sets until proper heat is provided. So, make sure that the jelly mixture comes to a boil before removing it from heat.

Refrigerate the jelly cubes until well set.

You can also add fresh watermelon chunks for an extra boost of flavour and texture.

This drink is traditionally served with lots of ice, hence, don’t miss it.
