Doodh Masala/ Milk Masala
As much as I love doing mega marathons, my challenges every six months surmount the previous ones...but this is something I enjoy as well...my final post on dry powders is the popular masala doodh mixture. While it is just throwing in few nuts and spices, I make it protein packed mixing in some things on and off usually thus avoiding the regular sugar laden milk additions.
The masala doodh is a popular beverage even for popular functions in marathi households. Haldi kumkum was one such event where this is made and served. Since it is served hot I used to hate it as a kid, but now I make it along with my kid who helps me grind it as per his whims and fancies playing with different nuts.
The good part is when he prepares it , he does not let us drink it , and uses it up very fast.
