Looking for a refreshing, body-cooling summer drink that also provides your skin a natural glow? Nitya Hegde presents you a very delicious and traditional twist—Watermelon Gond Katira Cooler—perfect for beating the summer heat naturally!

What Is Gond Katira?

Gond Katira, or Tragacanth gum, is a very natural and water-soluble gum from locoweed plants. When soaked well in water, it swells into a perfect jelly-like consistency. 

Odorless and tasteless, it's widely used as a cooling agent during the scorching summers.

Ingredients:

• 1 spoon of gond katira (soaked 3-4 hours or overnight)
• 1 cup of watermelon (deseeded & cubed)
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp of sugar
• ¼ tsp pepper
• ½ inch of ginger
•  ½ lemon juice 

Blend all ingredients well with the soaked gond katira and serve it chilled!

Usage Tips

• Use only 1–2 spoons of gond katira a day to avoid the possible side effects.
• Always consult your doctor if you're pregnant, on medication, or have some health concerns.
