Almond/Badam Milk Powder

I used the store bought badam milk powder to make warm or cold badam milk instantly until I saw this in cookery show in T.V.As almond has lots of health benefits,I try to incorporate in my son's diet either in the morning or for his snack.Sometimes I make this warm badam milk,especially in the winter time to keep the body warm.Whenever we wanted to take a break from caffeinated drinks our first choice would be this flavored warm beverage.This powder is not only used to make badam milk ,it can be used in the payasam or kheer to give a rich and creamy taste.Now on to the recipe.................

Almonds/badam1/4cup
Cashews10nos.

Cardamom/ellakai 5-6nos.
Saffron/kungumapoo 10-12 threads

Badam milk
Method

Enjoy..........................................

  • Don't grind the mixie or blender continuously while grinding the nuts,as the oil content in the nuts tend to make it like a paste.
  • Store it in the refrigerator to prevent the nutty smell.
  • Adding turmeric powder is purely optional,it is for extra color. 
  • To make masala milk,add a clove and small piece of cinnamon in the milk and add the required amount of powder.

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
