JIGARDHANDA...

JIGARDHANDA

                               JIGARDHANDA..... a summer special drink, available in most of the roadside shops in Tamilnadu. It acts as a coolant and it reduces body heat. It can also be made at home in simple steps. This is my innovative idea using fewer ingredients and without ice cream.
