To make thandai, start with getting together the nourishing thandai ingredients. Besides full-cream or whole milk, you will need saffron, green cardamoms, rose petals, and fennel seeds (saunf), all of which lend their fragrance to thandai. The black peppercorns used in this easy thandai recipe add a nice punch to it, while the nuts and seeds – almonds, cashew nuts, pistachios, poppy seeds, and melon seeds – add richness and bring their health benefits. And finally, sugar rounds off and elevates this thandai recipe with its sweetness. Think of thandai as a nutritious flavour-packed Indian milkshake.
