Kesar Peda Lassi Recipe

 

• Portions Serving: 3-4 pax
• Preparation Time: 15 mins
• Cooking Time: 05 mins
• Calories: 250 cal per portion

 

Ingredients:

 

• 4-5 Kesar peda (Saffron-infused milk fudge)
• 2 tbsp chopped cashews
• 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
• 2 tbsp chopped almonds
• 2-3 tbsp sugar (to taste)
• A few strands of saffron
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ½ cup yoghurt
• ½ tsp cardamom powder
• Ice cubes (as required)

 

Instructions:

 

Step 1: Preparation
Finely chop the cashews, almonds, and pistachios. These will add a delightful crunch and flavor to the lassi.

Step 2: Crumbling the Kesar Peda
Take a mixing bowl and crumble the Kesar Peda into small pieces. The peda will form the base of the lassi, contributing its saffron-infused flavor.

Step 3: Adding Chopped Nuts
Add the chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, and pistachios) to the crumbled peda. These will provide texture and extra richness.

Step 4: Preparing the Saffron Milk
Heat some milk in a pan, bringing it to a gentle boil. Adjust the amount of milk based on your servings. Add sugar to taste, stirring until it dissolves completely.

Step 5: Infusing with Saffron
Add a few saffron strands to the hot milk. Allow them to steep, giving the milk a golden hue and a subtle saffron aroma.

Step 6: Pouring the Saffron Milk
Pour the saffron-infused milk over the crumbled Kesar Peda and nuts mixture in the mixing bowl.

Step 7: Mixing the Ingredients
Stir everything together until well combined. The milk will soften the peda, creating a creamy, rich consistency.

Step 8: Adding Yoghurt
Add yoghurt to the mixture and stir well to incorporate. This adds a pleasant tang, balancing the sweetness of the Kesar Peda.

Step 9: Enhancing with Cardamom
Add half a teaspoon of cardamom powder to the lassi mixture to enhance its aroma and flavor.

Step 10: Refreshing with Ice Cubes
For a refreshing touch, add ice cubes. This will chill the lassi, making it perfect for warm days.

Step 11: Serving the Kesar Peda Lassi
Pour the lassi into serving glasses, garnishing with extra chopped nuts and crumbled peda for a decorative and flavorful finish.

Step 12: Serve Chilled
Refrigerate the glasses for a few minutes before serving. The Kesar Peda Lassi is now ready to enjoy!
