About Masala Milk

The entire recipe of this Masala Milk can be divided into 3 major steps – grinding the nut-spice masala powder first followed by boiling the milk and then eventually mixing the prepared powder, sugar and/or other flavorings to make the beverage. Like for any other dish, there can be many variations to the recipe of this Masala Milk too. Some families also have their age-old recipes passed on from generation to generation, which they claim to be secret. I actually don’ think that something so unique can be done to this recipe that can be termed as secret! However, my recipe includes the basic essentials and the procedure that results in an authentic Masala Milk. For the masala powder, I add nuts like almonds, cashews, pistachios and spices like saffron, green cardamom and cloves (optional). I also like to grate in some nutmeg in the milk to elevate the flavors. This pretty much makes a lovely Masala Doodh. Apart from making the Masala Milk during Kojagiri Poornima festival, I also make it on regular days at home. Especially, during winters, this milk works wonders for the body and you must consume it during the cold season.

More On The Recipe

I make Masala Milk in an easy way, one which can be done instantly without any pre-work or preparation. I grind the nuts to a semi-coarse powder. Alternatively, the nuts can also be chopped and then added. If you like having Masala Milk often, like I do, then you can refer to this Milk Masala Powder recipe and keep the powder ready for use. Just make in bulk and use it whenever you want to have the Masala Doodh. Another favorite recipe on similar lines is this Badam Milk. A must try! Like I said earlier, Masala Milk is really apt to have during the winter season as the nuts or dry fruits in it help in keeping the body warm. If you are making it for summers, then blanch the dry fruits so that their heat is reduced. Mainly for winters, I also add a few cloves in the recipe. This can be skipped too. In summers, you can even add other cooling ingredients like rose petals. Nuts and dry fruits of your choice can be added and some variations can be done in the recipe. You can halve or double the recipe too.

How to make Masala Milk

Make Masala Powder

  1. Take 10 almonds, 10 cashews and 15 unsalted pistachios in a dry mixer or dry grinder. You can rinse the nuts before, if you want.
  2. Add 10 to 12 saffron strands, seeds from 4 green cardamoms and 2 cloves (optional). Cloves can be skipped. I add them when I prepare Masala Milk during winters.
  3. Grind to a semi coarse powder. A few pieces of the nuts will be visible. If making for toddlers, then grind the nuts to a fine powder. Keep aside.

Boil Milk

  1. Take 3 cups milk in a saucepan.
  2. Keep the pan on stovetop and begin to heat on low to medium heat.
  3. While the milk is getting heated, stir occasionally, so that it does not burn from the bottom.
  4. Bring the milk to a boil. Take care when the milk begins to boil, so that it does not spill from the pan. Stir or reduce the heat to avoid the milk from spilling out.

Make Masala Milk

  1. When the milk comes to a boil, add the prepared nuts and spices powder.
  2. Take a grater and a nutmeg.
  3. Directly grate about 1 to 2 pinches of the nutmeg in the milk. Avoid adding too much nutmeg. You can also use readymade nutmeg powder, instead of grating it.
  4. Next, add 3 to 4 tablespoons sugar. Add more or less sugar, as per your taste requirements.
  5. Stir and mix so that the sugar dissolves.
  6. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes more, after adding sugar. Stir occasionally.
  7. Serve Masala Milk hot or warm. You can also refrigerate Masala Doodh and serve later.
