Starting this month recipe post with a sweet recipe. Moreover this can be done fireless. This is so simple, that anyone can make it. Jigarthanda is one of the traditional dessert made in Madurai, an important city in Tamilnadu. Madurai is famous for many food recipes and Jigarthanda is one among them. I have visited Madurai many times with my family, and I get to taste it a few times. I have tried the jigarthanda in the traditional way but this one is not a traditional one. It’s an instant way of preparing it. Initially, I tried this recipe when there was a fireless cooking competition. The taste was so good and near to the traditional one. It is a jiffy recipe if you have the ingredients ready.
In traditional one sabja seeds are not added,but I love to add them.
You can also serve it as a dessert after meal on special occassions.
