    Masala milk is rich, tasty, and healthy, spiced milk is popularly served in many Chennai hotels. Hotel Saravana Bhavan masala paal is one of my favorites.

    What is masala paal

    masala powder with freshly roasted Nuts and spices (masala) makes the golden milk rich and tasty. Saffron compliments the nuts flavor. It is served in many Chennai restaurants and street shops. the spice mix is soothing and comforting for the throat.

    Best Indian winter drink

    When kids are sick turmeric milk is my frequent go-to choice. It is extremely cold these days so instead of making plain turmeric milk. I prefer making Masala paal. It is filling and comforting for the throat. 

    BEST TIME TO CONSUME GOLDEN MILK doodh

    You can serve it as an evening drink. If kids/ adults have a sore throat you can serve it before bedtime for a goodnight's sleep.

    FRESH TURMERIC FOR turmeric masala LATTE

    Yes, fresh turmeric is best but if it is not available use turmeric powder.to use fresh turmeric refer to turmeric tea

    Can I use whole almonds?

    Yes,  use 8 almonds instead of almond flour. Roast almonds along with cashews and follow the other steps.

    can I use unroasted pistachio?

    Yes, in that case, roast them along with cashews. 

    Pulse and grind 

    nuts might ooze out oil if you grind so always pulse and prepare masala paal powder.

    Simmer after adding masala doodh powder

    Bring milk to a boil then add spice masala powder. After that cook on low flame. Avoid high flame.

    Variations for madras masala paal

    • Increase sugar if you prefer Chennai hotel-style masala pal
    • You can use melon seeds,  chironji, or any nuts of your choice
    • Full-fat milk is recommended but you use 2 % milk too. Avoid 1 % milk
    • You can boil milk for additional time to get malai. When the milk comes to the desired stage add masala doodh powder and mix
    • Masala milk is traditionally served warm but you chill and enjoy it according to your preference
    • You can use Cinnamon powder or pepper powder instead of cinnamon and pepper

    Masala doodh for sore throat

    • Use panag karkandu instead of white sugar
    • Increase pepper 
    • Consume before bedtime
    • Serve warm. Avoid drinking it cold

    Shelflife of masala doodh powder

    It stays good at room temperature for 1 week. Since we didn't roast for a long time I would recommend finishing soon.
