Приготовление

Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients: plain yogurt, chilled water, fresh mint leaves, green chili, grated ginger, black salt, roasted cumin powder, and ice cubes.

   Совет повара: Using chilled water helps maintain the cold temperature of the drink, which is essential for a refreshing Ghol.

2. 2

   Carefully wash and pat dry the fresh mint leaves, then remove them from their stems.

   Совет повара: Fresh mint is key for the vibrant flavor; avoid dried mint for this recipe.

3. 3

   If using, finely chop the green chili, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.

   Совет повара: The amount of green chili can be adjusted to your spice preference; a small piece adds a subtle kick.

4. 4

   Combine the plain yogurt, chilled water, fresh mint leaves, chopped green chili, grated ginger, black salt, and roasted cumin powder into a high-speed blender.

   Совет повара: Ensure the ginger is finely grated or minced to prevent fibrous bits in the final drink.

5. 5

   Secure the blender lid and blend the mixture on high speed until it is completely smooth and a light froth forms on top.

   Около 2 мин

   Совет повара: Blend for at least 60-90 seconds to fully incorporate all ingredients and achieve a creamy, frothy texture.

6. 6

   Taste the Ghol and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more black salt for tanginess or roasted cumin powder for depth of flavor.

   Около 1 мин

   Совет повара: Black salt (kala namak) provides a unique pungent, sulfuric flavor; if unavailable, use regular salt but note the flavor will be different.

7. 7

   Pour the freshly blended Ghol into two serving glasses.

8. 8

   Add 2 ice cubes to each glass just before serving to keep the drink perfectly chilled.

   Совет повара: Adding ice just before serving prevents the Ghol from becoming watered down too quickly.
