Masala milk recipe (Masala paal)

March 8, 2012 by Raks Anand 69 Comments /

Masala-pal-recipe
      Masala milk recipe has various versions. I never made on my own, but always wanted to try it out at home. I never used to like the masala pal they give in marriages. But now some how my taste changed and wanted to try it out. It is believed to give a good sleep, the recipe source is here. But I liked to add ‘panag karkandu’ palm sugar crystals in place of sugar and also added a pinch of pepper powder. Also skipped nuts like pistachios,almonds or cashews for garnishing. The milk is very flavourful and delicious!

Masala milk recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Drinks
Prep Time: 15 mins    |  Cook time: 15 mins    |  Serves: 2

Ingredients

Milk – 2 cups


Edible camphor – 1 pinch (Mustard size)


Almonds – 6 to 8


Saffron – A pinch


Sugar or palm sugar crystals – 2 tblsp


Elachi – 2


Cloves – 2


Cinnamon – 2 small pieces


Pepper powder(optional) – 2 pinches


PALM SUGAR CRYSTALS

Method

  1. Soak safforn in luke warm milk and almonds in hot water for 15 minutes.
  2. 1-masala

  3. Peel the skin of almonds and grind it to smoothly with little water.
  4. 2-badam

  5. Boil milk with cloves,elachi (powdered) , cinnamon,camphor, then add the ground almond.
  6. 3-boil

  7. Add the soaked saffron milk and simmer for 5-6 minutes. Lastly add palm sugar crystals and pepper and give it a boil.
  8. 4-saffron

Notes
  • Choose good quality saffron and make sure you add not more than a pinch,adding more will spoil the taste.
  • You can add chopped nuts if you like it.
  • Some times palm sugar crystals has impurities. You can strain it by dissolving it in hot water.
  • Adding crushed elachi and edible camphor gives a great taste. So this is the main flavour in it. You can skip cloves and cinnamon too.
  • This is my own version, so there may be some differences from authentic recipe!

If you want you can discard the whole masalas before you add almonds by straining the milk. Enjoy the milk warm ! masala+milk+recipe

DO have a look at my series and let me know if you can or cannot do so that I can draw up a schedule. It doesn't need to be something too difficult. Any simple recipe would do too. Just let me know.
