How to Make Perfect Shikanji at Home with Shikanji Masala Powder

Easy Shikanji Recipe at Home Using Shikanji Masala Powder

Summer is here, and nothing beats the heat like a chilled glass of Shikanji — India's most loved summer drink. If you have ever had Shikanji from a roadside stall in Delhi or Lucknow, you know that magical tangy, spicy, and refreshing taste. The secret? A good Shikanji Masala Powder.

Today, we are going to share a simple and easy Shikanji recipe that you can make at home in just 5 minutes using SAM Masale's Shikanji Masala Powder. No more guessing the right spices — just one powder and your summer drink is ready!

What is Shikanji?

Shikanji (also called Shikanjvi or Masala Lemonade) is a traditional North Indian cold drink made with lemon juice, water, sugar, and a special mix of spices. It is different from simple Nimbu Pani because of the spice blend — roasted cumin, black salt, black pepper, and dry mango powder — that gives it a chatpata and refreshing flavor.

It is very popular in Punjab, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. On hot summer days, street vendors sell it in big clay pots, and the taste is simply unforgettable. Now, with SAM Masale Shikanji Masala Powder, you can get that same street-style taste at home!

Ingredients You Need

Making Shikanji at home is very easy. You only need a few simple things:

 Ingredients (For 2 Glasses)

  1. 2 glasses of chilled water (or soda for extra fizz)

  2. 2 fresh lemons (freshly squeezed juice)

  3. 2 teaspoons SAM Masale Shikanji Masala Powder

  4. 2 tablespoons sugar or as per taste

  5. Fresh mint leaves (optional but recommended)

  6. Ice cubes — lots of them!

Step-by-Step Shikanji Recipe

Follow these simple steps and your perfect Shikanji will be ready in no time:

  1. Squeeze the lemons — Take 2 fresh lemons and squeeze the juice into a big glass or pitcher. Remove the seeds.

  2. Add the masala — Add 2 teaspoons of SAM Masale Shikanji Masala Powder. This is the most important step — the masala gives it that authentic street-style flavor.

  3. Mix sugar — Add sugar and stir well until it fully dissolves. You can add more or less sugar based on your taste.

  4. Add water or soda — Pour in 2 glasses of chilled water. For extra fizz, use chilled soda water or club soda.
