A nostalgic beverage worth croaking for !
In my school boy days, we often patronized road-side ice-water vendors and one of the favourite drinks was a red-coloured water which had many small “things” inside. We did not know what those were – but everyone called the beverage “air katak puru”, implying that those little “things” were the eggs of frogs.
It has been many years, in fact decades, since I last had a sip. But it was only recently that I came to know the little round things are basil seeds. (I have been eating basil leaves for many years, but know nothing about its seeds).
But why aren’t people selling this kind of drinks anymore ?
OK, I think I should be hopping around supermarkets to see if I can get a bottle. Jom ! Come croak with me.
