** With summer starts the switch over to smaller meals while coolants, curds, salads start dominating the meals ... fruit juices are natural thirst quenchers with minerals and nutrients that play the role of replacing lost ones due to excess heat in form of sweat ... aerated drinks are filled with high sugar content that builds up thirst even after relishing them chilled as Sugar and caffeine in them act as a diuretic, which will cause fluids to pass off more rapidly from your body ...

** No other produce screams summer quite like Watermelon. Come summer and there are loads of watermelon small to large sizes seen everywhere in the market. They are also stacked on roadsides on highways and sold at throwaway prices. It could be its refreshing sweetness or even the burst of color that adds a bit of brightness to your plate. The juicy content in the watermelon is God's gift to mankind so we should make best use of it.

** Watermelon is a food which has serious hydration power. It is one of best thirst quenchers during summer season. Because of its water and fiber content, it prevents constipation. This fruit when consumed during summer promotes regularity for a healthy digestive system. The best part is you can just relish it cut into pieces with dash of salt and pepper or prepare it into juice or sorbets, Popsicle too. So go for it, the brighter the color the tastier it is. 

** It is easy to prepare "Chilled Kalingana/ Watermelon Juice"  and here is my way ...

** Preparing watermelon juice is very simple. I have already blogged making of watermelon juice before. But I am repeating the same again. Just cut the watermelon through center and then again halve it and then cut the center red flesh portion into small pieces. Discard away the black seeds as much as possible and then add the pieces in blender and run the mixer for a few minutes. Do not add any water, you can add in later if you find the juice very sweet.

** Remove and sieve through a medium size holed sieve. Add water if necessary. But do check before addition of water to find if the juice is sweet. I do not add any water or sugar. However, yes a pinch of salt and pepper powder can be added as seasoning to the juice. If the juice is not sweet, sometimes the watermelons are not that sweet, then add in a few teaspoons of sugar and mix well, again you can add in some jaggery powder too. 

** Put the watermelon juice in fridge to completely cool or if you need to serve them immediately then either add in ice cubes while preparing the juice or chilled water so that the juice gets chilled faster to be served on easily. Also it cuts down the chilling time in fridge by hours. Serve watermelon juice chilled with a few ice cubes (Optional) in tall glasses, sprinkling some chaat masala on top (Optional), sip on in leisure.
