Whenever I visit India, I do a road trip from Trivandrum to Nagercoil to visit my family, it&#8217;s only a 2 hrs road trip. On the way to Nagercoil, the sight of Nongu is a delight and the street vendors will be selling it in the form or sharbat. They will scoop out the seeds and add the seeds along with the juice to a glass and add sharbat to it. It&#8217;s a perfect cooling thirst quencher and the taste of fresh nongu is incredible. I also buy a few nongu to enjoy after I reach home. The fresh nongu tastes so tender and has a nutty flavor, you won&#8217;t feel like turning it into anything else. However, nongu smoothie with coconut milk or milk tastes delicious as well.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the picture of Palm seeds or Nongu that I clicked in 2017, sold by street vendors on the way to Nagercoil.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26424\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Toddy-Palm-Nongu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Toddy-Palm-Nongu-1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Toddy-Palm-Nongu-1-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I do miss fresh Nongu and tender coconut or Karikku. At times, I buy the canned toddy palm seeds. It&#8217;s preserved in sugar syrup, hence you won&#8217;t get the natural taste of nongu. The other day, I made a smoothie out of palm seeds and coconut milk, tasted delish. If you are lucky enough to get hold of fresh nongu, do try this smoothie, you will enjoy it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Making Toddy Pam Coconut Smoothie Video<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Yummy Toddy Palm Seeds &amp; Coconut Smoothie- Nongu Smoothie\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9-bmNR-1SQs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Toddy Palm Seeds Smoothie- Nongu Smoothie<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Drinks<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">2<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Toddy Palm seeds or Nongu- 3 tbsp (canned)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut milk, light- 1 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Soaked chia seeds or basil seeds- 1 to 2 tbsp\/glass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I&#8217;ve used canned palm seeds, they are preserved in sugar syrup.
