#Holi2022
Holi is incomplete without Thandai. Today I have made a thandai masala paste along with Thandai. This massla paste gives awesome taste to thandai. It is prepared with combination of nuts, spices, saffron, rose water. Use this thandai masala for flavouring various other dessert like kheer, phirni, ice cream, kulfi, rabdi and so much more.
