MASALA MILK

August 6, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Masala Milk is a delicious concoction of milk and spices with lots of nuts and sugar.I tried this milk at the temple city of Kumbakonam in a restaurant.Though I have made this several times at home,I am blogging about this now only.This is one traditional milk drink made in all households which is full of nutrients and calcium.My daughter who is fussy in drinking milk at times loved this and I was truly satisfied.While growing up mom used to give pepper and turmeric milk whenever I caught cold and flu.This has an added advantage of nuts and spices which when…

PINEAPPLE BANANA MANGO SMOOTHIE

July 11, 2016 by Nithya 1 Comment

 I can drink smoothies any time of the day without guilt.Mostly it would be at evening time,but I have it for breakfast too.This time I made a few recipes with pineapple and was having a bit lying on the fridge.So I made a combo of the fruits and made this yummy delight.The strong flavour of pineapple was dominant here,though mango and banana played their parts.It is a healthy habit to munch on fruit bits as a snack rather on oily snacks.The mango and banana flavours were tantalizing too.Hope many of you will try to put on a healthy habit following my words.

SWEET LASSI

July 8, 2016 by Nithya 1 Comment

I am fond of Lassi very much and often prepare it at home rather than buying from the store. As all at home like lassi it is the a normal phenomenon to end our meal and finish it off with this drink.But I have never attempted to make sweet lassi. Ravi and Dhivya prefer the salt version and chaas varieties.On my recent visit to Delhi I had tadka chaas.It was a rich chaas full of tempered spices.I also tasted Sweet Lassi from Punjab Sweet Stall.It was totally out of the world, was light and not heavy and served chilled.A refreshing…

PANEER SODA

May 6, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Paneer Soda?Now what in the world is that?I can hear some of you asking.Paneer in Tamil is rose water and this drink is a one made of rose water and soda with ice cubes perfect for this summer.Many of you might have seen vendors in the streets selling in bottles a peculiar shaped bottle with a strange neck and a pebble in between.Pushing that open he would sell these and in this summer it would be selling as hot cakes.I have made a small attempt to a rose syrup at home as a preserve which can be stored for over…

April 29, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Gulkand is a jam made out rose petals and sugar.Normally you could find this gulkand in the making of pan or betel leaves as a stuffing along with many things.I recently came across a milkshake made out of gulkand and was quite impressed the way it tasted in one the ice cream outlets here in Bangalore.The addition of vanilla ice cream makes it creamy and while blending it becomes frothy and thick.Did you know that gulkand finds a good place in Ayurveda and has been in use to improve digestion and appetite.My grandma used to say it acts as a…
