After I got married, during the month of Ramadan, we made this extremely delicious milk dish to be had at Sehri (before beginning the fast), made from milk and dry fruits. Here’s how it is made. I do not know if this drink is known by any other name in other parts of world, it is called “Turri” in India.
You will need
Dryfruits:
- Cashewnuts 4-5
- Almonds 4
- Walnut -1 broken into small peices
- Dry dates (छुहारा) – 6-7
- Poppy seeds (खसखस) 1/2 tsp
- Pistachios 4-5
- Dried figs (अंजीर) 2-3
- Musk melon seeds -1/2 tsp
Milk 1/2 liter
Ghee 2tbsp
Sugar -to taste
Cardmom 2
Cinnamon 1/2 inch stick
Soak all the dryfruits in water for 5-6 hours.
Remove dryfruits from water and make a fine paste by adding some milk. (the paste has to be extremely fine).
Heat ghee in a pan, add whole cardamoms and cinnamon stick, and fry it for a few seconds.
Add the dry fruit paste to the pan, followed by milk and let it boil and simmer for 10 mins or till the dryfruits paste cooks.
Add sugar, some cardamom powder and consume hot.
Tips:
You can add/remove dry fruits as per your liking, but remember not to use Rasins (किशमिश) in this preperation
This extremely nutritious drink can be stored in refrigerator for 2 days. Heat in microwave before serving it though.
