SHAHI PESHKASH (ROYAL OFFERING)
SHAHI PESHKASH (ROYAL OFFERING)
Coming from a very warm part of the globe, as kids, we were offered milk based drink laced with the flavors of the dried fruit that were the offering of the rich agricultural land of India. Our elders encouraged milk, to be consumed, three times of the day! Weekends and hot summer vacations were spent in the house of our grandmother who specially made the below to give us our daily dose of dry fruits and keep us cool and protected from the heat of the blazing sun.
If you see all the below were soaked over night in cold water and it was said that soaking transferred the coolness or eliminated the heat from these dry fruits...This is all hearsay but you could look up the benefits of the all the ingredients below and see how nutritious this is!
4 cups milk for 4 servings
20 -25 almonds soaked overnight
Pinch of dried saffron overnight with 1 tsp of sugar
15 pistachios
20 golden raisins soaked overnight
4 tsp of sugar
2 tablespoon honey
Take all the ingredients with 6 cubes of ice in a blender and blend for a minute and voila! the royal offering ! sweetness can be adjusted to taste!
