Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almonds
  • 1/4 cup cashews whole
  • 1/8 cup pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon melon seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pepper corns
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 10 nos cardamom
  • 5-6 strands saffron
  • 1 teaspoon dried rose petals

To make thandai:

Instructions

  • In a clean dry mixer jar, add almonds,cashews and pistachios.
  • Then add pepper corns and fennel seeds,melon seeds,cardamom,saffron,dry rose petals.
  • First grind it to a coarse powder.Scrap the sides and pulse it few times. Do not grind more, as the nuts may leave out oil.Transfer to a plate and let it cool down then store in a clean airtight container.
  • Take 1 cup chilled full fat milk.Add 2 teaspoon thandai masala powder to it.Add sugar.Mix well.Set aside atleast for 15mins.
  • Then strain,press it well with a spoon.Serve chilled with few strands of saffron.

Notes

  • The measures of the ingredients can be adjusted,plus or minus according to your preference especially the nuts.
  • Do not add more fennel seeds and pepper corns,it may dominate and also will change the color.
  • If you prefer, you can a teaspoon of khus khus.
  • I didn't add sugar in this, but if you prefer you can add around 1/2 cup and grind it along.If sugar is added, the mixture will be even more fine.
  • After preparing thandai, give atleast 15mins standing time for the flavours to nicely blend with milk,the more standing time you give your thandai will be very tasty.
  • It will keep well atleast for 6 months , keep refrigerated.
