Healthy Cucumber Drink
Posted by Annita on March 21, 2006
Vanitha (which means Women) is a popular bi-weekly Malayalam magazine published by Malayala Manorama group.Modelled on the best of women’s magazines of the day, Vanitha had something of interest to every woman.Vanitha was launched in 1975 with Annamma Mathew (Mrs.K.M Mathew ) as its chief editor. Annamma, popularly known as Mrs KM Mathew is a renowned figure and household name in the state of Kerala. She has authored a number of books on cooking and her works have won many awards as well. An article about her can be viewed here.
I used to read Vanitha,even from my childhood and now i’ve subscribed it here also.It always arrives with new and interesting recipes. |

We also have a magazine in Telugu, published under the name “Vanitha”. But I’m not sure about whether it’s related to Kerala one or an independent publication. But a good read.
What I love about this drink is, it’s prepared without milk. I might give it a try, with soda, like you suggested. Thanks!
Try it out Indira.The drink is healthy too…I’m sure you are gonna like it..

I tried this drink, I think the juice of one lime is quite a lot for one cucumber. I have added close to 1 litre water, but couldn’t lighten up the lime juice.
Next time, I would use 1/4 of lime for one cucumber.
Thanks for the recipe.
