Jigarthanda---A Non Alcoholic Booze Of Madurai :P


JIGARTHANDA:

PARADISE..!!



Today , I've covered up one of the best drinks available in the streets of Madurai city.
It's called "Jigarthanda".  
It's no wonder why people love it the most.
It is simply proof that god exists and he wants us live life tastefully..!! 
For those people who have not tasted Jigarthanda before , listen up, it tastes more or less like falooda, actually far better than that. 
Now enough of the intro let's dive into the real stuff.







The expert's recipe :

CHINA GRASS
                          
        In a empty glass , not-so-condensed  milk is first poured till the glass is quarter filled. Then comes the interesting part , this is what makes Jigarthanda a hundred times tastier than falooda plus this is the secret ingredient too..It is china grass..! 
It is popularly called "kadal-pasi" by the local folks and the shop keepers.
It is the amount of china grass that is very important. 
Normally somewhere around one scoop is added. 
After that comes a scoop of ice-cream and all these are topped with milk cream and  red sherbet. Most importantly it must not be shaken nor stirred..! 
And that's it BINGO...right in front of you lies the drink that is going to give you wings..!



A Fully prepared Jigarthanda



What if you are not in Madurai and want good quality Jigarthanda :


                                                                              
                There are only two ways to deal with this situation , you either collect all those ingredients make it yourself , let yourself fail and keep learning and in a few weeks or months you will be gifted with a skill set to start your own shop. 
Well, I know It's not a good idea for busy people and lazy people. 
For those people , there are lots of jigarthanda brands , they sell good quality jigarthanda in bottled packages. 
You can get it in most of the shops. 
You can buy crates of those from Madurai and drink it in your city whenever you wanted to.
Still sounds like a bad idea.? Well, think about it, it all comes down to priorities. If people can buy crates of beer from Pondichery and drink it at their pleasure in their place then why not this..?!
Trust me, it's worth every pint of effort that you take into getting this drink!!

What is the cost of jigarthanda :

                                                    
A lot of foreigners and tourists have been cheated by the local shop owners by selling them food stuff at a really high rate , and that is a reeaally baaadd thing. Listen the price of Jigarthanda starts at 25 rupees and ends at 50 rupees depending on the quantity.The price ends at 50 rupees..! Drill that into your head , never pay more than that for a glass of Jigarthanda..! Unless and until you are parcelling it.

Two best places for jigarthanda in Madurai:

If you are a more civilized person , you can try a spoon.

                                                                       
  Actually, there are tonnzz..! 
Literally tonnzz and tonzzzz of places that sell mouth watering Jigarthanda in the city, I have short-listed the best two which I feel is a good place based on the taste, hygiene, quality, etc. 
I repeat this's just my opinion..! 
  • Murugan idli kadai 
  • Famous Jigarthanda
Both the shops have lots of branches around the city , you can get there from any part of the city.

Additional Info : If you wanted to get supplies of Madurai Jigarthanda at any part of Tamil Nadu contact this agent , he is a distributor for bottled Jigarthandas  , It belongs to firm called RUBY..
