Makhaniya Lassi is a popular drink in Rajasthan, and it's served at Lord Brahma's temple in Pushkar. If you'd like to double the saffron pleasure, serve a nice chilled Makhaniya Lassi along with some hot buttered popcorn, with saffron in the melted butter.
Makhaniya Lassi
Ingredients:
2 cups Curd (Yoghurt)
1 cup Water
3 Tblsp Heavy Cream
4 Tblsp Sugar
1 tsp fresh Butter
a pinch of Saffron
a dash of Cardamom extract
a dash of Rosewater
Nuts for garnish
a little Crushed Ice
Soak the saffron in a little warm milk for several minutes before preparing the drink. Simply mix all the ingredients (except nuts) together, and whip into a smooth, frothy blend. You can garnish the drink with cashews, pistachios, pine nuts, pomegranate seeds or coconut for a nice finish.
To enhance the saffron flavor, you can leave out either the cardamom or rosewater, or both, and have a delightful saffrony beverage. If using the cardamom, it's best to use a liquid extract instead of powder, so there's no graininess in the drink.
