1. Gondhoraj Masala Cola
Starting the recipe blog on a refreshing note with the Gondhoraj Masala Cola. The Gandharaj lemon is a beautifully fragrant variety of lemon indigenous to Bengal, and a squeeze into any dish can enhance the flavour. The Gondhoraj trend picked up via social media with the inclusion of the zesty flavouring and the pretty lime green colour being infused into any and every dish.
Not shying away from a trend, we put our cooking hats on to infuse the flavoursome element into the classic masala cola. Let’s start with the recipe so that you can try out the refreshing drink for yourself.
