Kanthari drink, Spicy salted lemon soda

Salted lemon soda with chilli makes a refreshing drink with a spicy twist, as well as flavour from the chilli. Kanthari means a spiciest variety of chilli.

After posting kappa vada, I definitely wanted to try this Kanthari drink we had at KCK restaurant. When I saw the tagline in the menu card ‘only for adults’, I thought it’s alcoholic drink  and skipped ordering this. But my BIL ordered it and told it was awesome. I realized it’s just because of the spiciness to handle, the tagline. Once we all tasted, we ordered again for us.

Check out my other spicy drink, Grapefruit mocktail.

I had no idea about the recipe though, just could figure out lemon, chilli, salt and soda. When I was browsing kulukki sarbath, I came to know it’s the same, except for soda and kulukki sarbath had sabja in it. I am sure I would love kulukki sarbath as well. Had been eyeing it ever since I saw in a Malayalam movie with beautiful cinematography.

As of now, let’s enjoy this special Kanthari drink, spicy salted lemon soda. Make sure to use oosi milagai (birds eye chilli) for best flavour and spice.
