Instructions

In a bowl, place 8-9 small crystals gond katira (gum tragacanth), add ⅓ cup water and soak it for 5-6 hours.
In another bowl, soak 2 teaspoons sabja seeds (basil seeds) in ¾ cup water for 15-20 mins.
Add peeled and diced 1 Thai honey mango cubes to a blender and blend until smooth. Set it aside.
In a glass, add ice cubes, 2-3 spoons of soaked sabja seeds, followed by 2-3 spoons gond katira, mango puree, 1 ½ teaspoons Maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon Cardamom Powder.
Pour ⅓ cup Milk and stir well.
Garnish with a few cubes of chopped mango and a mint leaf. Enjoy it immediately for refreshing flavour and taste.

Notes

Gond Katira: Soak it for at least 5-6 hours until crystals absorb all the water and expand into a soft translucent jelly-like texture.

Sabja Seeds: Unlike gond katira, sabja doesn't need to be soaked for hours. Soak it just for 15-20 minutes, until they absorb water and expands.

Chill Everything: Chill soaked sabja, gond katira and mango puree beforehand to keep the drink refreshing and chilled without needing too many ice cubes.

Mango: Use less fibrous, sweet ripe mangoes for the best taste and flavour.

Consistency: Adjust consistency to your liking. Use extra mango puree for a thicker drink or add more milk to thin it.
