Chennai

Panakam Popsicle 

Ingredients 

Water: 2 and 1/2 cups| Powdered Jaggery: 1/2 cup| Cardamom powder: 1/2 tsp| Dry ginger powder: 1/4 tsp| Pepper powder: 1/2 tsp| Lemon: 1/2| A tiny pinch of salt 

Method 

• Take jaggery powder in a mixing bowl and add freshly crushed pepper, ginger powder and cardamom powder to it. 
• Add lemon juice to it and mix well 
• Jaggery will be dissolved completely. Strain 
• Now pour into popsicle molds and close with a lid 
• Keep in the freezer for 8 hours minimum or overnight 
• For easy demolding, take water in a bowl and dip each mold 
• Gently pull out the popsicles 

Notes 

• I use powdered jaggery so it dissolved quickly. If you use crushed jaggery it takes a bit more time to get dissolved. 
• Use freshly crushed pepper and cardamom for more flavour 
• The colour of the popsicles depends on the jaggery colour 

Mango Coconut Milk Popsicle 

Ingredients 

Mangoes: 2 nos.| Coconut milk (thick and thin): 1 cup| Honey: 2 tsp 

Method 

• Rinse the mango and cut it into cubes 
• Collect the cut mangoes in a bowl. Take your popsicle mold. Add chopped mangoes to it 
• Take coconut milk, add honey to it, mix well and keep it ready 
• Fill mango mixture till half of the popsicle mold. Pour coconut milk mixture till the rim of the mold 
• Using a long stick mix it 
• Close with lid and freeze for atleast 8 hours or overnight 

Notes 

• I did not add any sweetner to the mango mixture as the mango was already sweet. If you prefer add a sweetner of your choice 
• I used 1/2 cup thick coconut milk and 1/2 cup thin coconut milk 

Orange Carrot Juice Popsicle 

Ingredients

Medium-sized oranges:2| Small carrot:2| Water:1/2 cup| Honey:2 tsp|

Notes 

• If the oranges are very sweet, skip the honey. You can replace honey with cane sugar or any sweetner of your choice 
• I skipped ginger as kids may not like the flavour but you can add a small piece of ginger if you like
