Cardamom Milk Recipe- Elaichi Doodh
This drink is popular in the plains of North India and in Bengal.
Can also double up as a light meal before bed.
Makes a healthy warming hot milk or a sweet after dinner drink or a filling milk drink before bed (especially when one has had an early supper).
A warm nut milkshake
Ingredients:
3 tbsp. white poppy seeds dry roasted in a pan
15 blanched almonds
1 cup water
3 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon Poppy Seeds
1/2 tsp. cardamom seeds
sugar to taste
Method:
1. Dry roast poppy seeds in a heavy frying pan over low heat. stiring the pan often so as not to burn it, for about 5 minutes.
Combine the poppy seeds, almonds and water in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade and process for 2-3 minutes or until the nuts are reduced to a fine puree.
Add 2 cups milk and further blend on low speed for about 15 seconds.
2. Pour the mixture through a strainer over a pan.
Press out as much liquid as possible, then add the remaining milk and the cardomom seeds.
Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over moderately high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the sweetner.
3. Indians will pour the milk back and forth from one pan to another to make the milk frothy much like a low tech cappuccino machine.
The frothy milk is then served |
