Drink loads of liquid in the summer! Isn’t it what age-old theories suggest, when heat-waves come hard on you, in that part of the year? That’s when a splash of chilled ‘Ghol’ calms you, even when gallons of water couldn’t! Gondhoraj Ghol – The phrase in itself means Drink which is the King of Fragrance.
![Gondhoraj Ghol : Savouring Coolness - Erakina 1 Gondhoraj Ghol](https://erakina.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Gondhoraj-Ghol-300x300.jpg)
It is a classic beverage indigenous to Bengal, normally prepared in summers and very common in celebrations or ‘Bhoj’, i.e., feast especially on the occasion of Navratri festival. Ghol has its share of similarities with Lassi of Punjab and is touted as its Bengali Cousin. Ghol is prepared with Buttermilk combined with a slice of Gondhoraj Lebu, a lime which is highly renowned for its fragrance and taste.
Beat the heat
This year’s Spring is ‘on heat.’ And Bengal is reeling under heatwave with temperature in districts like Bankura shooting to 40 degrees in the beginning of March. But the biggest trick to keep one healthy and fit and energized during these summer months is by drinking a lot of fluids. Other than litres of water, what you also need is a dash of Bengal’s very own Buttermilk/Lassi, popularly known as Ghol.
This cooling drink has down ages been the best friend of all those who came home after a hard day’s work from the scorching heat and even for children back from school. Ghol is much lighter than lassi and other than its ingredients with a superb nutritional value, this drink also helps to keep you going all day.
The Magic Ingredient of Ghol
