Thandai – Mango Shots
My Holi post on how to make theĀ thandai premix, was quite loved by my followers on social media.Ā As I said,Ā a good thandai mix (powder)Ā is of utmost importance.
Once you have fixed that part of the process the options that you can create pretty much depend on your creativity.
Like I have already mentioned in my thandai post ā you can try making various flavours with this pre-mix eg. Paan flavoured thandai, guava thandai, rose flavoured and so onā¦
If you guys remember I had promised to post two flavours of thandai on my blogā one was already posted on Holi (Thandai with rose petals) and the second I had promised will follow in a day.Ā So, the wait is over ā¦ My second flavour of thandai is Thandai ā Mango Shots.Ā It could not have been anything other than Mango !!!Ā The only best part of summers for me is that it brings the season of this luscious fruit.Ā I go all crazy trying to incorporate the fruit in most of my recipes.Ā I just canāt have enough of it.
Coming to the recipe itās pretty much the same.Ā All you have to do is incorporate the mango pulp into the thandai infused milk.
Thandai – Mango shotsĀ
Ingredients :
- Thandai powder (the pre-mix recipe is already featured on the blog)
- Milk ( 2 cups)
- Alphonso mango puree (1 cup)
- Fennel powder (1 tsp)
- Elaichi powder (1/2 tsp)
- Finely chopped almonds for garnish
Method :
- Boil 2 cups milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Add 3 tbsp of thandai (pre-mix powder) to it and boil for a minute or two. Keep stirring while the milk boils else it will spill over.
- Now switch off the flame and stir in the fennel powder and cardamom powder to this milk.
- Cool the milk to room temperature and then add the mango puree and blend in a blender.
- Cool this mixture in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- The mango puree will make the Thanda thick and luscious.
- Now pour mango thandai into shot glasses and serve.
Handy Tips :
- When you add mango puree make sure the milk is at room temperature else the milk may curdle and we donāt want that.
- You can also add finely chopped mango pieces to this.
