Mango again, yes here is a supplement to my mango mania. I have previously told you about thandaai and even though it is not so hot but we are in July, it is nice to have a cool drink. That is exactly what mango thandaai is, but quite filling since it contains some nuts. If you have a nut allergy, you can skip these and thus get fewer calories. If you want a light variant, you can use skimmed milk or other vegan variants. I have used lactose-free skimmed milk. If there is something you do not like or have of spices and nuts, it can be omitted. It will just be less flavorful than the original.
MANGO THANDAAI (4 glasses)
1 dl boiled water
2 tablespoons yellow poppy seeds
30 g cashew nuts
20 g pistachio nuts
30 g almonds
5 peppercorns
1 teaspoon saffron
1 tablespoon warm milk
5 cardamom pods
5 tablespoons sugar
2 dl mango puree
3 dl water
5 dl milk
Procedure:
- Soak poppy seeds, cashew nuts, pistachios and almonds in boiled water until soft. Remove the skin and grind the cardamom seeds.
- Mix everything in a blender, saving a few strands of saffron for garnish.
This is a good pleasure
