Blogging Marathon Season #7

Wow... it is truly amazing to see someone who has managed to organise 7 blogging marathons before I type anything , kudos to you Srivalli. And many thanks for including me in this 7th season of the blogging marathon.

My theme for this week is "Cooking from Back of the Pack". I have not indulged in cooking from back of the pack many times apart from Maggi or Rice Sevai pack. This theme appeared very different to me, hence wanted to venture out into the unknown area. Wish me luck girls.

Here is wishing all the runners all the very best in the marathon run.

JalJeera - Summer Coolers - BM#5

JalJeera is the most refreshing drink. I had a taste of it when I visited a dhaba for the first time. Since then I never miss to drink it whenever I go to any dhaba. It my fav drink. It is best when served in a small matka pot. I never hesitate to ask for a second round of this wonderful JalJeera.
When I chose Summer coolers for this marathon. I knew this will surely get featured as one of the drinks that I prepare. I adopted the recipe from here
