    PAANAKAM:
    Recipe source - Google search - http://www.awesomecuisine.com/

    Jaggery (powdered) - 1 cup.
    Water - 3 cups.
    Lemon - 2.
    Dried ginger (powdered) - 1 ½ tsp.
    Cardamom (crushed) - 1/2 tsp.
    Pepper & salt - to taste.

    Method: Mix the jaggery in water and dissolve it well. Filter to remove impurities. Add lemon juice, dried ginger powder, cardamom, pepper and salt to taste. Mix well. Serve chilled.
