Piyush is a thick, creamy and chilled drink made by blending curd, milk and shrikhand with saffron and cardamom powder. This recipe is made in summer season and has a creamy taste with mild sweetness and aroma of saffron. Many people serve it as a welcome drink at parties.

This recipe is very simple and need only few ingredients. It take about 10 minutes to prepare, and you do not need any cooking for it. This gives a rich and creamy taste to the drink. You can have it after lunch or in the evening time.

About Piyush

Piyush is a traditional drink from Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is made mostly during festival days and summer months. And also Piyush is the main part of this drink, and it is mixed with milk and curd to make it light. This recipe texture is thick and smooth and it feels creamy when you drink it. 

The flavour is mildly sweet with little sourness from the curd. Saffron gives a light golden colour to the drink, and cardamom powder and nutmeg powder gives a warm aroma. Chopped pistachios on top add a light crunch in every sip.

You can change this drink in many ways as per your taste. You can also add a little rose syrup or some more dry fruits on top. For a light version, you can use thin buttermilk in place of some milk.

Piyush is a close cousin to lassi, the main thing is that piyush has shrikhand so its more rich and creamy. This piyush recipe was given to me by my friend last summer itself but it got missed, I kept postponing as its a easy recipe finally this summer made it and enjoyed.

Piyush Ingredients

• Curd - I use fresh and thick curd for this recipe. It gives a mild sourness and creamy taste to the drink. Do not use very sour curd as taste will change.
• Milk - I add boiled and cooled milk to make the drink light and easy to drink. You can replace it with almond milk if you like.
• Shrikhand - I have used store bought shrikhand. It gives the sweetness and thick texture, so you can skip the extra sugar if it is sweet enough. You can use any flavour of shrikhand.
• Saffron - I add a pinch of saffron strands for colour and aroma. It gives a soft golden shade to the Piyush. You can soak it in warm milk for few minutes before adding.
• Cardamom Powder - I use cardamom powder for a fresh and sweet aroma. It goes very well with curd and milk. You can use freshly ground one for better smell.
• Nutmeg Powder - I add a tiny pinch of nutmeg powder for a warm flavour. It is strong, so use very little. You can skip it if you do not like the smell.
• Pistachios - I use chopped pistachios for garnish on top for crunch and mild nutty taste. You can use almonds or cashews also.

How to make Piyush Step by Step

1.To a mixing bowl add curd, then add milk and shrikhand(I used storebought).

2.Add cardamom powder, saffron strands and nutmeg powder along with required sugar.

3.Using a hand blender blend well until smooth and creamy. Finally garnish with chopped pistachios and enjoy!

Serve chilled!

Expert Tips

• Use thick curd - I always use thick and fresh curd for this drink. Watery curd makes the Piyush thin and it lose the creamy taste.
• Soak the saffron - I soak saffron strands in two spoons of warm milk for 10 minutes. This gives better colour and the aroma spread well in the drink.
• Blend till smooth - I use a hand blender and blend until there are no lumps. Shrikhand is thick, so it needs some time to mix well.
• Add sugar slowly - I taste the Piyush once before adding any sugar. Store bought shrikhand is already sweet, so most of the time extra sugar is not needed.
• Chill well - I keep the Piyush in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Cold Piyush taste much better and feels more refreshing.
• Nutmeg quantity - I add only a tiny pinch of nutmeg powder. If you add more, the flavour becomes too strong and cover the saffron flavour.

Serving and Storage

Serve this chilled with chopped pistachios and a few saffron strands on top. It tastes best when served fresh after blending. Store the leftovers in a closed bottle in the refrigerator and finish within one day.

FAQS

1. Can I skip shrikhand?

Yes you can make it with curd and milk, but the taste will be slightly different. 

2. Can I use homemade shrikhand?

Yes you can use homemade shrikhand, it will taste even better. Just make sure it is smooth and not very sour.

3. Can I skip saffron?

Yes you can skip saffron if it is not available. The drink will taste good, but the colour and aroma will be less.

4. Can I use a mixer jar instead of hand blender?

Yes you can use a mixer jar and blend for few seconds. Do not blend for long time as the drink will become thin.

5. How thick should Piyush be?

It should be thick like a lassi and easy to pour. Add little cold milk if it feels too thick.

This recipe is just simple and needs only few ingredients from the kitchen. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare, and you can make it with or without ice cream. The ice cream gives thick and creamy shake. You can have it in evening time or after a heavy meal.

About Pistachio Milkshake

Pistachio Milkshake is a popular drink in many ice cream parlours and juice shops of India. It is also called Pista Milkshake in most of the places. The pale green colour of the drink look very pleasing in a tall glass. The cardamon flavour gives a light aroma.

This has a thick texture, also smooth and creamy with bit pieces of pistachio in every sip. If the ice cream already has pistachio in it, the shake has a rich taste even without extra sugar. It is not too sweet, so you can finish a full glass easily. For a light version, you can skip the sugar and use less ice cream.

You can change this drink in many ways as per your taste. Some people like to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra richness. You can also use badam or cashews along with pistachios, and add a few saffron strands on top.

I make this recipe on weekends when I have homemade pista ice cream in freezer. My family finish the glasses very fast and ask for one more. So I always keep extra milk chilled in refrigerator.

Pistachio Milkshake Ingredients

• Milk - I use boiled milk that is cooled and chilled in the refrigerator. It gives a smooth base to the shake, and you can replace it with almond milk if you like.
• Pista Ice Cream - I use pista ice cream for creaminess and thickness. It has the pistachio taste already, so you need less of other things. You can use vanilla ice cream also.
• Chopped Pistachios - I add a little chopped pistachios inside the milkshake and some for garnish. It gives a mild nutty flavour and a light crunch on the top.
• Cardamom Powder - I add a tiny pinch of cardamom powder for aroma. It gives a warm flavour with the milk, and you can skip it if you do not like.
• Sugar - I add very little sugar, as the ice cream is already sweet. It is optional and you can increase it for kids.

How to make Pistachio Milkshake Step by Step

1.Get all your ingredients ready. I added just 1 teaspoon chopped pistachios only as the ice cream had already pista in it.I used homemade pista icecream.

2.To a mixer jar add milk, sugar, chopped pistachios and cardamom powder

3.Add 3 small scoops ice cream to it. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream and sprinkle chopped pistachios!

Expert Tips

• Chill the milk - I always keep boiled milk in the refrigerator for few hours. Cold milk gives a thick shake and the ice cream does not melt fast.
• Ice cream - I use a good quality pista ice cream with real pistachio pieces. The taste of the whole drink depends on it.
• Chop finely - I chop the pistachios into small pieces before adding. Big pieces get stuck in the straw and blend unevenly.
• Taste before sugar - I blend first and taste once before adding any extra sugar. Most of the time ice cream gives enough sweetness.
• Blend till smooth - I blend for few seconds only, until the shake looks smooth and creamy. If you blend too long, it becomes thin and watery.
• Chill the glasses - I keep the serving glasses in the refrigerator for some time. The shake stays cold for longer time.

Serving and Storage

Serve this milkshake just with ice cream or some chopped nuts on top in chilled glasses. You can just serve it right after blending or chill until serving time, both work fine. Store leftover in the fridge for one day in airtight container and shake well before serving because it might settle.

FAQS

1. Can I make this without ice cream?

Yes you can make it with only milk and pistachios, but the shake will be thin. Add more chopped pistachios and little sugar for better taste.

2. Can I use vanilla ice cream?

Yes you can use vanilla ice cream if pista ice cream is not available. Add little more chopped pistachios for the flavour.

3. Can I skip the sugar?

Yes you can skip it if the ice cream is sweet enough. Taste once after blending and then decide.

4. Can I use salted pistachios?

Salted pistachios are not good for this recipe. Use plain unsalted pistachios for best flavour.

5. Can I make it ahead of time?

You can blend it few hours before and keep in the refrigerator. Stir well before serving, because it settles at the bottom.

Masala Mor is a traditional South Indian drink made using curd, water and a few basic spices and herbs. It is a light and refreshing drink that helps to keep the body cool, especially during hot summer days. Masala Mor is healthy & cool choice of drink cand a bliss in the scorching summer. It is usually prepared at home after lunch or when the weather is too hot to have anything heavy.

The ingredients used are very simple and are always available in most kitchens. The curd is diluted with water, mixed with crushed spices, and finally tempered to enhance the flavor - yes I have given the recipe for masala mor here itself. Yes, It can be made in just a few minutes and does not require any special equipments. Do try and enjoy this cooling drink.

About Masala Mor

Masala Mor, also called spiced buttermilk, is a simple South Indian drink that brings together the goodness of curd and the fresh spices. Thick curd is whisked with cold water to make a smooth base, and to that, a handful of fresh aromatics are added usually crushed ginger, green chili, and curry leaves. This gives the warmth and freshness to the drink.

One of the best things about Masala Mor is that it doesn't need much prep time. Everything comes together in just a few minutes using ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. There's no grinding to a fine paste involved-just a coarse crush is enough to bring out the flavor of the spices and herbs.

This can be easily customized. You can add a few mint leaves for a cooling effect or a pinch of roasted cumin powder if you prefer a slightly earthy twist. It pairs especially well with hot, spicy meals-cooling the system and aiding digestion. While it's most popular during summer, many homes prepare it all year round to accompany everyday lunches or to serve guests something light and refreshing after a heavy meal.

Masala Mor is something I always look forward to, especially on hot afternoons - it's cooling, comforting, and packed with flavor. The fried mor milagai takes it to the next level, adding that perfect hint of smokiness and heat. Buttermilk is a must during summer as its such a great body coolant and when spices are added to the plain buttermilk and served chilled, then what more do you want?

Masala Mor Ingredients

• Curd - This is the key ingredient. Use fresh, thick curd. I have added fresh homemade curd which gives more taste and flavor.
• Water - Use chilled water for a refreshing feel. Water helps to dilute and bring the butter milk to the right consistency.
• Salt - to taste. Adjust according to the sourness of the curd.
• Curry Leaves - added for flavor and aroma, one of the main ingredient that gives a fresh aroma to this drink.
• Ginger - Just a small piece is added which helps in digestion and gives a warmth.
• Green Chili - Provides spice to the drink. You can adjust the quantity according to the spice level you want.
• Oil - used to temper the spices. I used gingelly oil, you can use any cooking oil.
• Mustard Seeds - A key part of South Indian tempering. They add a mild crunch and depth of flavor to the drink.
• Mor Milagai (Sun-Dried Chilies) - Adds smoky, tangy heat. These chilies are soaked in buttermilk and sun-dried, then fried and crushed into the drink.
• Coriander Leaves - Finely chopped when added bring a fresh look and aroma.

Why This Recipe Works

• This recipe is made with simple pantry ingredients.
• It's a perfect cooling and refreshing drink for hot weather.
• It is an quick and easy recipe to make.
• This recipe has a unique smoky, tangy flavor.
• It can be customized to your preferred spice level.

Sambaram is sold commercially as a street food and in juice & petti (local) shops in Kerala. It is a very good replacement for tea, coffee or juices in summer between breakfast and lunch. It is a very refreshing drink to beat the heat.

My memory of Sambaram dates back to childhood days during my train journey to Goa where it was offered in packets - I could not stop with one - well most of us could not! You feel the stomach is really filled after having Moru during the diet / fasting days.

Sambaram is best in summer and gives a refreshing feel. It also aids in digestion and hence can be served as one of the dish whenever we have huge spread. Since Sambaram is a body cooler, it is better to avoid in rainy days and after evening or else one may catch cold!

1.Take milk in a sauce pan, boil for 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool down.

2.To a sauce pan - measure and add ragi flour and coco powder to it.

3.Whisk well then add water to it.

4.Whisk well to avoid lumps. All this is done off the stove. Now switch on and cook until it becomes thick and shiny.

6.Add chilled milk to mixer jar, add sugar and cooked ragi mixture.

7.Add vanilla essence to it and blend it well until smooth and creamy. Chill it until serving time and Serve chilled.

Serve with a garnish of chocolate shavings or chocolate semiya like how I did. You can even sprinkle coco powder(as in video).

• Cooking - I cook the mixture until it becomes thick and shiny and coat the ladle properly. This is an important step so that it blends well with milk and taste smooth.
• Cool Completely - I let the cooked ragi mixture cool down completely before adding it to blender. 
• Chill Milk Well - I chill milk at least for 15 to 30 minutes in the fridge before blending. Cold milk make milkshake smooth and creamy.
• Blend Smooth - I add chilled milk, sugar and cooked ragi mixture to mixer and blend well until smooth and creamy. 
• Use Full Fat Milk - I use full cream milk for creamy and richness, you can use low fat milk if you prefer lighter version.

Serving and Storage

Serve ragi milkshake chilled in glass with garnish of chocolate shavings or chocolate sprinkles on top. You can serve it right after blending or chill until serving time, both work fine. Store leftover in fridge for one day in airtight container and shake well before serving because it might settle.

Lumps in ragi flour makes it grainy so whisk well with water off the stove before cooking. Cook until thick and blend well with cold milk to get smooth texture.

4.Can I skip vanilla essence?

About Golden Milk Latte

Golden Milk Latte is a drink that has been used in Ayurveda for long time for health benefits. Turmeric is the main ingredient and it is known for medicinal values. This warm, comforting drink is perfect for any time of day when you want something warm and soothing.

I saw this Turmeric Milk Latte idea in a show that I got so tempted to try it. I tried it once and loved it so much. Then again tried couple of times with proper measures to post it here.

The flavour is just warm and spiced, not too strong but taste special. This has a creamy texture when you froth the milk well, and the froth on top adds a nice layer. The colour is golden yellow because of turmeric.

You can make this drink according to your taste, some people add more sugar and some add less, some use honey instead of sugar. You can also use plant based milk if you prefer. The base recipe stays the same, just milk, spices and frothing.

I usually make this on cold days for my family. Everyone loves it because it tastes good and feels soothing, and it has its health benefits too.

This drink has good nutritional value because of chia seeds. These seeds are packed with fibre and omega fatty acids which helps your body stay hydrated. You can make this drink fresh and have it whenever you want and its a good alternative to regular tea and coffee.

About Chia Lemonade

Chia Lemonade has become quite popular as a cooling drink during summer. The combination of lemon, nannari and chia seeds work really well together in a cold drink. When chia seeds sit in liquid they expand and the texture makes this to lemonade.

The flavour is just bright and has lemon taste and the nannari syrup gives mild sweetness. Chia seeds don't have much flavour, they just add texture and make the drink feel more filling. It tastes simply amazing and make you feel refreshing to drink.

You can adjust this like add more lemon for sharper taste, or reduce nannari if they don't want it too sweet. Mint leaves or ginger work well in this drink you can add or skip according to your taste, Base taste stays the same and you can adjust it to what you like.

I usually make this on really hot days or for parties, My kids enjoy this as it is so light and refreshing, and chia seeds makes it feel special.
