Sacred, simple, and soul-soothing, Tonka Torani is more than a summer cooler—it’s a timeless ritual in a glass.
Tonka Torani is more than just a refreshing summer drink—it’s a sacred sip rooted in the divine traditions of Jagannath Puri, often offered during the auspicious Rath Yatra. Made with humble kitchen staples like cooked rice, curd, green chillies, and lemon, this cooling blend not only nourishes the body but also carries the essence of Odisha’s spiritual and culinary heritage.
The beauty of Tonka Torani lies in its simplicity—steeped rice water mixed with curd and seasoned with ginger, cumin, and curry leaves creates a lightly spiced, tangy drink that’s both hydrating and grounding. Rooted in centuries-old customs and coastal flavors, this heritage drink offers more than just refreshment—it brings a sense of peace with every sip.
