I am posting a Recipe of Gooseberry Juice which I used to prepare and keep it in my fridge during the very hot summer season. Whenever we come back to our house from a very hot summer afternoon we all used to have 1 cup of this juice and it gives instant energy.

Hi Lakshmi, Welcome to the blogging world:)
ReplyDeleteSure I can help you, feel free to ask me any kind of questions;)
First time hearing about squash... no worries about the picture, I was thinking to try it and take a picture, but not sure if I can get KMS in Singapore, if not I will try without it!
I guess it would be too refreshing.....:) Even we used to enjoy arai nellikai at my granny's place. She had a big tree and me, my bros, my cousins... everybody used to sit on the tree... plucking all nellikai's... u reminded me of those days:)
Happy Blogging!
