So, something good came out of something that didn't exist. OK, sorry that is not very helpful. Here it is, I wanted to make this chilling Badam (Almonds) milkshake this afternoon for evening time, but just happened to notice that I ran out of badam, doesn't happen very often, but today was one of theose days. Anyways, so, I am like ok, so what else do I churn into my milkshake, so I came up with this idea of mixing kaju and pista, so here you go with the milkshake.
Kaju aur Pista Ki Thandai - काजू और पिस्ता की ठंडाई (Cashew and Pistachio Milk Shake)
Ingredients
Milk - 1 cup
Kaju (Cashew) - 1/4 cup (Soak in warm water for 1 hour)
Pista (Pistachio) - 1/4 cup (Soak in warm water for 1 hour)
Saunf (Fennel Seeds) - 1 tbsp
Condensed Milk - 3/4 cup
Kesar (Saffron) - few strands soaked in little bit of warm milk
Ilaichi (Cardamom Powder)
Ice Cubes - 1 cup
Preparation
- First grind kaju, pista and saunf in a blender
- Then mix the rest fo the ingredients and blend them till a nice froth forms on the top.
Serving
Serve it chilled either at breakfast or snack time or any other time you feel like having a milkshake. If you use low-fat or skim milk instead of milk and instead of using condensed milk, simply use regular sugar, you can drink it anytime guilt free :) But, the real taste is in drinking the way it is here... lol
I am sending this for Thanda Mela event of Srivalli, Show me Your Smoothies event of Divya.
That's all for now, rest later.
