Maha Shivaratri 2016 falls on 7th of March.So i thought of sharing this yummy,healthy Thandai as Shivratri prasad recipe which is famous in North India.We South Indians,usually make Sweet puttu with rice flour and jaggery on this day.This time i tried thandai as well as Puttu for a change.Please find the updated
Sweet puttu recipe here if interested.
For this recipe,I referred Sanjeev kapoor and Tarla dalal’s site.I just combined both the recipes and tried.It was very tasty.We loved it a lot.I have used Melon seeds and other nuts & spices.If u don’t have them in hand,u can make it very simple by making Thandai powder using almond,Cardamom,fennel and peppecorns.I used Rose essence instead of Dried rose petals.I read bhang is mixed with this drink
.Is that true ??
Do offer this healthy,tasty drink for Maha Shivaratri and get the blessings of Lord Shiva
!!
