A video feature on a summer drink that is a favourite in Tamil Nadu
A trip to Madurai is never complete without the city s most favourite roadside drink, the Jigarthanda. Like goddess Meenakshi and the fragrant Malli poo, Jigarthanda is synonymous with the temple town.
What separates the Jigarthanda from its northern cousin, the falooda is pisin. While the latter uses vermicelli and is scooped up and eaten, the Jigarthanda is stirred and drunk.
Although the origins of this sugary drink is unresolved, in 1977, S Sheikh Meeran set up shop at the Kaalavasal junction in Madurai and exclusively started selling Jigarthanda.

Her popularity soared as she helped in safe delivery of thousands of babies through normal childbirth.
