Basil Shikanjavi/Shikanji or Basil Lemonade is Lemonade made with basil simple syrup. Make your favorite summer drink Shikanjavi with Basil Simple Syrup

Lemonade in India is know as Shikanjavi or Shikanji or Nimbu Paani. Nimbu is Lemons in Hindi language. It is one of the most popular and cheapest form of summer cooler.Here I bring you desi Nimbu Paani with Basil flavor..Basil Shikanjavi/Shikanji or Basil Lemonade

Made with fresh lemons, serve in chilled with added spices like black pepper, black salt or roasted cumin seeds. Many people also use homemade or store bought masala(spice mix) for the enhancing the flavor.

Shikanji is both made in sweet and salty flavors. As a kid I always loved the sweet version with a pinch of masala added to it. Sugar is used as a sweeter, now these days many people have started adding honey to avoid white sugar. My kids also like the sweet version and it is one of their favorite summer drinks. Fortunately, both of then are not at all fond of commercial cola drinks or store-bought fruit juices and like to have homemade ones.

I started using fresh basil in cooking when we came to US. In India back then it was not very popular though we now get the fresh ones at specialty stores.I had earlier used dried basil in soups,and pizza preparations and basil pesto in homemade breads(Basil Pesto Bread) sandwich and pasta.

Now I have fallen in love with the flavor of fresh basil and use it in soups and smoothies like these.. Roasted Bell Pepper and Tomato Soup, Melon and Basil Agua Fresca.

What is Basil Shikanjavi or Basil Lemonade

Basil flavored Nimbu Paani or Lemonade is one of the many ways to use fresh basil leaves. Many times it happens that we get fresh basil leaves from store and as the shelf life is very small, these start turning black and lose aroma if not used within first few days. So I make this Basil Simple Syrup and use it in making lemonade or other sweet fruit drinks.

Lemonade flavored with Basil Syrup has become a favorite drink in house. Squeeze in some lemon and add the syrup as per the sweetness you like then add water or soda as per your preference!! and sip on the lemony freshness with hint of basil flavor.

Lime or Lemon for Lemonade to make Basil Shikanjavi/Shikanji

You can use Lime or Lemon to make this Lemonade. I prefer to use limes that are available here in US, as the taste of limes is much like the Indian lemons. Indian lemons are much smaller in size as compared to the ones we get in US.

Health Benefits of Lime and Basil

Limes or Lemons are rich sources of Vit. C and antioxidants. Since ages these have been used for medicinal purposes. One of the best detox drinks when mixed with water and honey. cleanse the system and give glowing skin.

Basil is also a rich source of anti-oxidants and excellent source of Vitamin A . It promotes blood flow and is used in aroma therapy(Source online).

Lime and Basil together in this refreshing cooling drink, not only cools down the body but also has several health benefits.

How to make Basil Shikanji

To make Shkanjavi we need basil flavored syrup lemons/lime and chilled water, you can also used soda if you want, especially while serving to your guests. I make Simple Syrup(Sugar Syrup with basil leaves and store it in refrigerator.

It stays good for a week or even longer.

Make lemonade whenever you want. I will not recommend using dried ones,frankly,never tried it. I feel the real flavor of lemonade is enhanced with fresh leaves.

First step is to make Simple Basil Syrup

2 Simple steps and cooling refreshing drink is ready to sip.

Wash the leaves gently under running water.

Add equal parts of sugar and water in a pan. Once the sugar is dissolved and water starts to just boil, add basil leaves and boil for a minutes then switch off the flame.

I like to blend the whole mixture with leaves, keep it for sometime so that the flavor of basil leaves is infused in mixture.

Then filter it and keep it in refrigerator.

You an also free the syrup in ice cube tray and use as required.

How to make Basil Nimbu Paani or Basil Lemonade

To make Lemonade or Nimbu Paani, squeeze one whole lime one lemon in a glass, add basil syrup around 1/4 cup or as per the sweetness required, add water, ice cubes sip on the freshness!

You can also add cut or lightly muddled fruits like kiwis, strawberries or blueberries for an enhanced fruity taste.

Recipe card for Basil Shikanjavi/Shikanjavi or Basil Lemonade

Basil Shikanji/Basil Lemonade

Switch on the gas stove, heat water and sugar mixture.

When the mixture just let it boil for 1-2 mins. then add basil leaves.

Let it boil for another 1 minute.

Switch off the flame and let the flavor of basil leaves infuse in water sugar mixture.

Once the mixture cools down, blend the mixture. This is optional.

You can skip this step and directly strain the mixture.

Strain the mixture after blending.

Store it in an air-tight glass bottle or jar, use as required.

How to Use Basil Simple Syrup other then making Lemonade

My favorite way to use it is in lemonades, ice teas or other fruity drinks where we need sugar syrup. You can also drizzle this on fruit salads, add in popsicle or granitas.

Can I make it without Sugar Syrup

Do not want to use white sugar?? You can add honey to it. To make without sugar, boil water, then add basil leaves, boil for a minute and then let the flavor infuse, add honey then store it after straining.

Vegans can use maple syrup or any other natural sweetener.

You can make ahead of any party or get-together and serve to guests. Trust me it will be hit among all the age groups. Not only in hot and dry summers , you can make this have it any season as it a good source of Vit. C and antioxidants.

Baco: Vivid Recipes from the Heart of Los Angeles is an amazing foodie book for when you want to pull out all the stops to make incredible dishes.

I am absolutely in love with the Bäco Bread with Creamy Poblano Feta Dressing. The smell of the fresh flatbreads baking fills the house and the dressing is lickable. A huge thanks to Chronicle Books for letting me share it with you! The picture is mine. The photographs in Bäco are beautiful.

My review with my pics and thoughts on all the dishes I tried is below the recipe.

Baco: Vivid Recipes from the Heart of Los Angeles by Josef Centeno and Betty Hallock, photographs by Dylan James Ho and Jeni Afuso (Chronicle Books, 2017.)

Bäco Bread

Makes 10 flatbreads

1 ½ tsp active dry yeast 1 ½ tsp sugar 1 cup [240 ml] warm water 3 2/3 cups [440 g] flour, plus more for dusting 2 tsp salt 6 Tbsp [80 g] ghee, at room temperature 3 Tbsp plain yogurt Avocado or olive oil for cooking

Whisk together the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl. Set aside til foamy, about 10 minutes.

Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the ghee, yogurt, and yeast mixture and mix with a wooden spoon or by hand until thoroughly combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 10 minutes.

Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside til nearly doubled in volume, about 1 ½ hours.

Punch down the dough, turn it over onto a lightly floured work surface, and knead it again for a few minutes. Cut the dough into 10 pieces and roll each into a ball. With a rolling pin, roll out each ball into in 8-by-4-in [20-by-10-cm] oval, dusting with flour as needed.

Heat the oven to 300°F [150°C]. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large heavy bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Place one piece of dough in the pan, adjusting the heat as needed so that the bread is browned on the bottom and the top starts to bubble and puff, about 1 minute. Flip the bread and cook until the second side is browned, about 1 minute longer. The breads should be spotted with well-browned areas and still pliable.

Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining breads, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Serve warm.

Poblano-Feta Dip

Makes 1 ½ cups [280 g]

3 poblano chiles ½ tsp cumin seeds 1 cup [14 g] fresh cilantro leaves 1 cup [16 g] fresh mint leaves 1 cup [140 g] crumbled feta Grated zest and juice of ½ lemon 2 garlic cloves, peeled 1 Tbsp sherry vinegar ½ tsp salt 1 Tbsp to 1/3 cup [15 to 80 ml] water

One at a time, char the poblano chiles by placing them directly over the open flame or a gas stove or grill. Turn them with tongs as they are roasting, until the skins of the chiles are charred and blistered all over, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. While they’re hot, place them in a large sealable bag to steam for about 10 minutes. Don’t let the chiles steam for too long or they’ll start to turn brown. Remove the charred skin, rubbing it off gently with the back of a knife. Cut open one side of each chile and remove and discard the stems, seeds, and ribs. Set aside.

Toast the cumin seeds in a small, dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

Put the poblano chiles, cumin, cilantro, mint, feta, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, vinegar, and salt in a blender and purée on medium to high speed, adding water a tablespoon at a time, until smooth. Use just enough water to blend the mixture to the consistency of hummus. It shouldn’t be too liquidy. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Baco: Vivid Recipes from the Heart of Los Angeles by Josef Centeno Edition: Hardcover

This is an ultra-fresh, vibrant, colorful, flavorful omnivorous book. The contrasts of flavor, texture, and color are phenomenal. His aesthetics are great. Everything we’ve tried has been delicious and interesting. The recipes aren’t terribly difficult, but I headed straight for my better grocer for some of the more special ingredients. He suggests substitutions for some that are more rare in the recipe headers.

The book itself is very artsy and gift quality. The photography’s beautiful and there are little design features like the top right corner of the pages are rounded, which I thought was just to look cool, but seem to make the pages easier to turn. Huh.

1) Sichuan Pepper Lamb Top Round with English Pea and Parsley Salad – p 246 & 38 and Sweet Potatoes with Aonori Marscapone Butter, Feta and Honey – p 188. All of the contrasting color is visually stunning and the flavors are just outstanding. The cut of lamb is not fatty at all, and the flavor crust on it is wonderful. This is the best sweet potato recipe I’ve ever tried. The aonori is just crushed up nori, so if you have nori sheets in your pantry, you can just run one through your spice grinder and you’ll be set. The lamb calls for 1 teaspoon of cubeb pepper. My grocer didn’t have it (Amazon does!), so after reading a description, I substituted ½ teaspoon each of allspice and peppercorns. It was delicious.

2) Tuscan Melon with Persian Cucumber Salad with Cacik – p 110 & 92. Fantastic sweet, earthy, and crisp salad. I only made ¼ of the cacik recipe, because that’s all that was needed under the salad, but it’s a little like a tzatziki with walnuts and raisins. It’s too delicious to not make ½ of the recipe. 3) Bäco Bread – p 176 and Roasted Golden Beets with Radishes, Cucumbers, Hazelnuts, and Creamy Poblano Feta Dressing – p 218, 22 & 80. These are the recipes from the cover, so I had to try those out. Wow! These are my favorite in the book. I can’t believe how easy it is to make flatbread at home, and they’re perfectly pillowy, and the smell of the fresh bread has everyone waiting at the table. The earthiness of the beets with the mellowed out pickled onions, the sharp breakfast radishes, the sweet crisp of the cukes, the pop from the dry-cured olives and feta, and the fresh herbs combine to make the most amazing salad. And that poblano feta dip is lickable! I made the chicken below with it. Perfect dinner.

4) Braised Chicken with Leeks, Tomatoes, Berbere, Thyme, and Yogurt – p 234. Lovely spicy chicken with leeks and tomatoes, braised in wine and stock. 5) Tuscan Kale with Crushed Fenugreek-Nigella Meatballs and Sherry Raisins – p 137 & 135. Delicious dinner, and there’s a full bunch of Tuscan kale on each plate. The miso is not mentioned in the meatball name, but that flavor is nice and pronounced. Nigella is sometimes called black cumin or charnushka, if you’re having trouble finding it. 6) Sauteed Peaches and Shishito Peppers with Goat Cheese, Cashews – p 221 & and Saffron Honey – p 33. Fantastic!

7) Baharat-Spiced Porcetta – p 258 & 35 with Chimichurri – p 84 and Red Endive and Blood Oranges with Blue Cheese, Dukkah, and Banyuls Vinaigrette with Hazelnut and Fennel Dukkah – p 104 and 48. Delicious! The whole house smells lovely from the slow roasting pork. The bitter greens and citrus salad offset the richness of the pork so nicely. My grocer doesn’t carry red endive, so I used regular, but you could use radicchio if you wanted to have the color pop like in the book.

8-10) Panko Crusted Shrimp with Chives and Mexican Sriracha – 148 with Jicama Salad with Mango, Fennel, Cucumber, Peanuts, Lime, and Fish Sauce Vinaigrette – p 147 & 71. Yum! Fresh, easy, tropical tasting dinner. I added a little mayo to the sriracha sauce. You only need 1/5 of the fish sauce vinaigrette recipe for this, so that’s all I made. This makes a ton of salad, so I tossed extra peanuts into the leftovers for lunch the next day. Nice.

11) Barley Porridge with Ginger and Sauteed Oranges – p 212 with Breakfast Dukkah – p 52. Wonderfully fragrant, tasty breakfast in less than a half hour.

Some others I have flagged to try: Snap Pea and Asian Pear Salad with Grapefruit, Burrata, & Hazelnuts – p 107 * Fennel, Kale, Shaved Cauliflower, and Apple with Creamy Dill Dressing and Bacon Bread Crumb Persillade – p 113, 95, 54 & 55 * Crudites with Walnut-Miso Bagna Cauda – p 114 & 56 * Blistered Green Beans with Fenugreek-Chipotle Tomato Sauce – p 116, 67 & 39 * Creamy Romesco Soup with Grapefruit, Nigella, and Fresh Horseradish – p 120 * Caesar Brussels Sprouts – p 125, 22 & 54 * Caramelized Cauliflower with Mint, Pine Nuts, Lime, and Yogurt – p 132 * Sauteed Broccolini with Mexican Sriracha and Queso Fresco – p 134 * Coffee-Rubbed Beef Carpaccio with Juniper Tarragon Vinaigrette and Crispy Shallots – p 157, 40 & 72 * Slow-Roasted Berbere-Cured Ocean Trout with Lemon Tempura and Citrus Olive Salad – p 166 and 163 * Fuyu Persimmon Salad with Grapes, Red Walnuts, and Sherry Vinegar – p 186 *Rutabaga and Pancetta with Lemon, Anchovy & Capers – p 190 * Eggplant with Avocado, Persian Cucumbers, Herbs, and Cipollini-Buttermilk Dressing – p 194 & 74 * Berbere Chicken and Creamy Pecorino Rice – p 196 * Imjadra with Cherries, Parsley, Sumac, Yogurt, and Fried Shallots – p 230 * Skirt Steak with Horseradish Yogurt and Beets bi Tahini – p 182

I’ll update this as I play in the book more.
