How Sharbat-e-Mohabbat started
When the Local 18 team tried to know about this potion of love, we met an elderly man named Amanullah Sahab. He told that Nawab Qureshi had come to Delhi for the first time with Sharbat-e-Mohabbat. Many customers who came to the shop to drink sherbet told that it was Nawab who had come to Delhi with this sherbet for the first time.
This is how this sherbet is made
Nawab told that to make this sherbet, first of all the watermelon is cut into small pieces. These pieces are put in milk, in which sugar syrup and Rooh Afza are then added, mixed with ice and you can serve it to your customers. Talking about its price, you will get it for Rs 50 per glass.
The style of feeding is unique
Nawab’s style of giving Sharbat-e-Mohabbat by saying ‘Tapa-Tap’ made him viral on social media. Even today he makes people drink sherbet with his own hands in the same manner. Explaining the meaning of his Tapa-Tap dialogue, Nawaz said that eating food in Bengal is called Tapa-Tap. That’s why he makes his customers drink sherbet by saying this. The reason for serving sherbet in this style is that he is very famous on social media.
