Selvi, I tried it with white radish... the recipe doesn't mention the type of radish...so u can use any I believe... also the recipe says the radish can be used whole without peeling the outer skin...

[tscii]Jigar means heart, thanda means cold.
This drink is meant to cool our hearts.
The milk consistency should be thick, then only the Jigarthanda
will be tasty.
JIGAR THANDA
Ingredients:
4 cups of fresh milk
½ cup sugar
5 grms of soaked china grass
200ml water
1 tbs sugar
2 tbs nannari syrup store bought
2 tbs soaked sabja seeds
1 big scoop of ice cream for each glass
Method:
Boil the milk with the sugar till it reduces to half the volume.
It will have a faint pink colour. Refridgerate till chilled
Add 200 ml of water, 1 tbs sugar and 50 ml milk and boil the china grass. Pour it into a flat container. When cold cut into cubes
Take a tall glass, pour 2 tbs of the nannari syrup.
Pour two big ladles of the cool milk.
Add in the 2 tbs of the soaked sabja seeds.
Add about 2 tbs of the jelly that you have cut into cubes.
Top it up with a scoop of any ice cream of your choice.
Note: Some like to add boiled sago instead of the sabja seeds.
Also some like to use rose syrup instead of the nannari syrup.

CHOLE OR CHICK PEAS CURRY
Ingredients:
2 cups chick peas (the white one ) washed and soaked over night
2 tomatoes chopped
1 big onion sliced
1 big onion made into paste
2 tsp ginger paste
2 tsp garlic paste
3 green chillies sliced
½ cup of coriander leaves

This gives a rich brown colour to the chick peas.

You can retain the liquid and add it for the gravy later.
That is if you want a darker gravy.
Discard the tea bags
Heat a wok with the ghee, add in the seasoning things.
When they crackle, add in the onion , ginger and garlic pastes.
Sauté well for about a minute.
Now add in the chopped tomatoes, sliced green chillies and the sliced onions. Stir and cook well till the tomatoes turn mushy.
Add in the chillie powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and the garam masala powder. Add also the salt and stir well for a minute.
Now add the blended chick peas, tamarind juice and mix well.
Now add the boiled chick peas and 1 cup of water.
Mix every thing well and let it come to a boil.
Taste for salt, chillie and etc.,
The gravy should have reached to a thick consistency.
Sprinkle the cut coriander leaves stir and remove.
Serve warm with rotis, chapathis.
