Rose milk

Rose milk is a famous drink in South India. Most south Indian restaurants or hotels in the pre-cola era (which is less than a decade ago) served this and some still do. In the summer months (which is always!), it is a cool treat. The dark pink hued drink is almost as popular as 'filter coffee'.

When ever we go to restaurant i always end up having rose milk.This is my all time favorite.When i went for weekly grocery purchase i happened to get rose syrup from there.This is how i made my rose milk
Ingredients
Chilled milk 1cup
Rose syrup 2 tsp

Mango lassi

Lassi is a famous Punjabi dessert.A glass full of Punjabi lassi is so filling u will end up having only lassi.It will be very thick & tasty.I got some mangoes last week when i went to buy some vegetables.They were not as sweet as i expected.So made mango lassi with those mangoes as, i also had fresh home made yogurt at home.

Ingredients
Mango 1
Thick yogurt 2cups
condensed milk 2-3 tsps(depending upon the sweetness of mangoes)Peel the skin of mangoes , remove the pulp & puree it in a blender.Now add the mango pulp & condensed milk to the thick yogurt & beat it together with egg beater.Using egg beater helps to retain the thickness of the lassi.Taste & adjust the pulp & condensed milk in lassi.It was so yummy v finished it as soon as i made it.
