Royal Nutty Rose Milk

Rose is Something Which Attracts many people just by its Name, And when its with milk??? Yumm flavored and Healthy Drink Packed Together!! Some Indian Flavors Like Rose, Kesar, Badam Etc Gives a sense of Royalness in their taste so as this drink with a little of its intro playing its part at my home :)




I know its not new for many of us! But yet many still are not aware of this yummy drink!! My relatives who ever taste this have a question always on "how do u make this?" And my aunt who lives in orrisa,  her family is completely crazy, This drink is a must make when they visit us! Though its simple I still dint get why they arent able to make it themselves well gud for mom she is always in demand for many of her cooking skills ;)

Today Im sharing this fav drink of my family and clicked pictures today not because we had some guests or Im trying to beat Chennai Heat in Cool Winters which never enters Chennai lolz. But Since we are in the beginning Of New Islamic Year which is Called Muhrram my family and relatives have a ritual to make and chilled drink on 6th day and Recite Fatiha (Prayer) distribute the drink among Family Friends & Relatives and Also to Poor needy or the one very thirsty. I actually do not know the root of the reason why this is done but ok no Questions on something I dont know! When I tried to know from mom what drink our relatives make at Village? she says nothing I was almost shrugging my shoulders and asked her then why we do this? She said we had been doing since long, She dont have an answer and Im sure my relatives who follow it also dont know why they do certain things, Many muslims do this and many dont!! so lets not think and get on with this yummy drink :)

Serves - 4 - 5
Level - Very Easy

Ingredients:
Milk - 1 liter Full Cream
Water - 1cup
Sugar - 5- 6 tablespoon According To your taste
Rooh Afza - 2-3 tablespoon or any brand of Rose Syrup
Almonds - 1 tablespoon
Pistachio - 1 tablespoon

Method:
- Blanch and Slice Almonds and Pistachio in advance or you may do later too.
- Boil Milk & water in a pot and Add Sugar Less than Sweet Enough for your taste 
- Boil the milk in low for 3-4 mins till the sugar melts into the milk and gets cooked for a while (this step is important)
- Cool down the milk and Add Rooh Afza mix it ( Add enough just to give rose flavor and light pink color) Also see notes!!
- Add in blanched and sliced nuts 
- Chill it and Serve!!!

Enjoy the Drink by Crunching Nuts In Every Sip




Notes:
- Full Cream milk gives a richer taste. If you are diet conscious you can used skimmed milk too
-  Adding sugar to boiling milk and cooking for a min or 2 gives the whole thing a very rich taste. The density which we will obtain by doing this will increase the taste to a different level. But its optional!!
- If you already have chilled milk add in powdered sugar, as granulated sugar may not dissolve soon.
- You may proceed consuming the drink without nuts too but nuts give such a nice flavor in every sip we hardly can avoid.
- You may skip nuts and add soaked basil seeds this again is an amazing combo!!
- My relatives who sent their had added chorinji as well.
- The reason why I said to add sugar lesser than your sweet level was that when we add rose syrup it will have certain amount of sugar consistency and that will balance the taste.
- Light pink color is more appealing and gud to taste flavor wise compared to more rose syrup added which become dark pink and too much rosy and heavy in flavor.
We always prefer Rooh afza when it comes to rose syrup as it gives the perfect taste of natural flavor which we are used to. We had tasted other brands rose syrup and essence such as Himalayas etc but never got  better taste out of it.  But still this should not become a reason for u to not try out this drink :) 
- If you like you may add some rose petals while serving for the Real kind of royal look but I dont assume it much sensible as many people may not like to having rose petals Disturbing their drink, Specially when u have nuts along to munch




This is just a perfect Drink for all time and Occasions.
If you ask me to describe this drink in short?? I would just say
A Royal Treat!!!!
So What are you waiting for? Try out this Royal Nutty Drink Yourself and Know the Difference!!

Also do let me know how you liked it :)

Almondy Rooh afza Lassi


My Bloggy Baby Is One Month Old Today!!!
Before a year I dint knew what r blogs, as I would come across something interesting I would immediately subscribe for their email updates. Happily was following every blogs updates happy to try them out as well. When I started Studying blogs and their nature how it works, I found so many bloggers for food blogs alone???? surprising bloggers posting and re posting recipes it was all strange to me. Many A time I tot of having my own blog but dropped my plan seeing so many other blogs existing with no reviews from audience, Wat a sad moment for bloggers when they take pain to post something and there is no comments for appreciation left. I would take pleasure to comment on such blogs but at same time it would discourage me from owning my own blog.

Until one fine morning I came across Nabanita Das's blog Esho-Bosho-Aahare and read some encouraging articles there. She is such a kind soul to reply my comments via mail and make me understand how blogs work. She also encouraged me start a new blog as well. Which I started without even thinking for a moment. Though the reason was different for this move but after entering the blogging world all other things looks secondary. What is more important now is Im enjoying myself and also participating in events. After knowing everything abt this bloggy world the only thing came to my mind was!! What the hell I was doing past 5years??? 5yrs coz thats when I started social networking lolz. Thank you Nabanita for showing me the door of this world its more than an eye opener for me.

Past is past lets talk about present. And the Present is Im suppose to share my post here :)
Its so hot mom makes sure to bring fruits from market and ask me to make juice. If not juice Moor/ Buttermilk. But Sunday needs to be a little special. So I had set Curd a day ahead. I was fully in plan to make lassi for Sunday. Little bit confused regarding the flavorings. Previously made Kesar Elaichi Lassi which turned out great!!! I dint had kesar elaichi combo then so I shifted my plans to Rooh afzah. Still I wasnt sure how it might turn out, Did some googling and was ok to make a start. So here It goes

Ingredients

Curd - 1.5 - 2 cups
Milk - 2 cups
Water - 1.5 to 2 cups
Sugar - 2 table spoon +/-  according to your taste
Rooh Afzah - 2 tablespoon
Roasted Almonds - 2 tablespoon roughly chopped


Method:

- Blend In Curd, Milk, Water and Sugar I used my tall juicer. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or water if you find it very thick or sourness is more.
- Remove in a Big Bowl Add in Rooh Afza and mix check for sugar, sourness add more ingredients which suits your taste best.
- Refrigerate The drink and serve chill
- Mix in almonds before serving (see notes)


Notes:

-No Rock Hard Rules to be followed while making this, Be Easy To your taste
-After adding everything lassi was still little bit of sour which got corrected when I served along with Ice cubes.
-Since almonds R not blanched and peeled adding almonds from bfr itself might leave the skin after getting soaked up. The skin of almonds might float on top making it overall disaster.
- If you dont want to use roasted almonds then simply blanch the almonds and slice them up still will taste crunchy munchy
- If you want More Pinker Version add more and more of rooh afza till you reach the right pitch. But here again you will need to adjust the sugar by reducing it. Coz adding more milk or curd (white) would only make the hue light pink and not dark.


It yielded 4 tall glasses of lassi for my family. Adding ice cubes floating on top gave a majestic look to the whole thing.

Impression:

Yummy Almond Rooh afza Lassi. With Perfect blend to beat the summer heat.
And Crunchy Almonds complimenting the whole subject :)
Every Sip Was Just Wonderful :)


Im in a platform to explore more n more things from expert bloggers here :)
