MASALA PAAL/MASALA MILK

As everyone of us know that Mahima speaks more by her photographs than by her words. After seeing her Masala Milk, I was so tempted to try that. She was remembered about this by Priya of priyaeasyntastyrecipes. Thanks both for posting a wonderful and delicious recipe. I tried at home shortly. It was a hit at home and nowadays this has become a must at home on weekends. Of important note is that my little demon also liked this very much and is drinking the whole cup of milk without giving a pause for breath!!!!!!

INGREDIENTS:

Milk - 3 cups

Sugar – 3 spoons

Condensed milk – 1 tsp

Cinnamon – 1

Cloves – 3

Cardamom – 2

Turmeric powder – a pinch

Badam and Cashews (sliced in strands using the grater) –5 each

Pepper powder – 1/4 tsp (optional)

METHOD:

· Heat milk in a heavy bottomed vessel. Once it starts boiling, add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, sugar, and a pinch of turmeric powder to the milk and heat it for a while in low flame. Add condensed milk in between and keep stirring for sometime. Adding condensed milk will give a unique taste to the masala milk.

· Discard the spices by filtering and add the almonds and cashews strands. As I had sore throat, I added pepper powder at the end. It was also good.

· Serve hot. This is usually taken after dinner which will give a good sleep.
