Masala Paal..heard that after dinner, its always good to have this milk to get a nice sleep..Most of us would have had it in India..Delicious Milk with spices n almond paste..
3cups Half & half milk
5nos Cloves
3nos Cinnamon sticks
6nos Almond nuts
1+1/2 pinch Saffron
3tsp Sugar
1tsp Cardomam powder
5nos Pistachios (chopped)
Heat milk in a heavy bottomed pan..add cloves n cinnamon sticks with milk..heat them together n stir it continously for a while, meanwhile soak the almond nuts with a small quantity of boiled milk for atleast 5 minutes... Once the milk starts boiling, put the flame in simmer n stir them for few minutes until they turn a bit thick ..at this stage add the saffron with the milk..grind the soaked almond nicely in a food processor n add the grounded paste to milk stir it well..add enough sugar n put off the stove...add cardomam powder n chopped pistachios pieces to the masala milk...
Serve them when its mildly hot..adjust the sugar as per ur taste..
If u dont like the cloves n cinnamon sticks in the milk..drain them before adding the grounded mix of almond..as i like them much..i didnt drained it.
After having this, hope u will all get a nice sleep...Zzzzzzzz
