Ganga Jamuna - does this name sound very interesting and attractive?? This was my reaction too when I first saw this name on the menu card of a fresh fruit Juice shop .
As intrigued as I was with the name ,I was very skeptical to try and was even hesitant to ask the owner what it comprised off . But luckily for me, my friend very boldly ordered for this drink while I settled for my favorite Pineapple juice.
I was very keen to see what ingredients went into the making of Ganga Jamuna . I observed the shopkeeper very closely and to my surprise he picked up oranges and sweet lime (mosambi) to prepare. Since it was a mix of 2 fruits going into one juice, it has been called Ganga Jamuna .
You may use the traditional citrus juice presser to extract the juice or use modern day electric juicers which remove the pulp and extract pure juice.
Ensure that the seeds from the oranges and sweet lime are removed before pressing the juice in a blender as the juice may turn bitter if seeds get crushed.
