Famous Jigarthanda, now a household name in Madurai, has its roots in a humble yet remarkable journey that began in 1977. The story starts with P. Sheik Meeran, a man from Aaraampannai village near Tirunelveli, who ventured into the food business as a means of livelihood. His initial offering was a simple yet delicious homemade ice cream, made from milk, sugar, and vanilla essence.
This ice cream quickly gained popularity, affectionately known as “Bhai ice cream” due to its distinctive taste and the warm, personal touch he added to his service. The business was started by our father P. Sheik Meeran in 1977. “We are from Aaraampannai Village near Tirunelveli. My father first sold ice creams made of milk, sugar and vanilla essence for existence. ,”.
Peer Mohammed (eldest brother) takes care of the Anna Nagar branch, while the next one, S. Zinda Madhar, is in charge of the shop on East Marret Street. The third brother S. Shahul Hameed takes care of the godown. The youngest sibling Amanullah, takes the shop’s name and fame beyond the city limits. He is in-charge of the out-station orders.
We sells two types of jigarthanda. The ordinary and special. The main ingredients that go into the making of jigarthanda are milk, almond pisin, basundi, ice cubes and sherbeth. The special variety has more khoya than the ordinary one. “We prepare our own sherbeth. It is tough because proper care during the preparation is a must and that is the secret of our success.”
