MASALA TEA/MASALA CHAI RECIPE - MASALA TEA POWDER- INDIAN MASALA TEA WITH CHAI MASALA POWDER RECIPE


MASALA TEA/MASALA CHAI RECIPE - MASALA TEA POWDER- INDIAN MASALA TEA WITH CHAI MASALA POWDER RECIPE

Tea is the favourite of most of the people, that too masala tea is a wonderful soothing drink for cold/cough. With the ordinary tea, few spices are added to make it more flavourful and tastier.

To prepare the masala tea, you can make the spice powder in bulk and can use whenever required or else you can prepare the fresh spice powder and add to the tea.

Generally I use cardamom and fresh ginger only to make tea. But the added spices such as pepper, cinnamon and all will give nice flavour and definitely will give you different experienced tea.

            To prepare the masala powder (around 10 servings):
                        10 to 12 cardamoms
                        5 black pepper corns
                        2 inch piece cinnamon
                        1 ½ table spoon dry ginger powder (Sukku podi)
                        5 or 6 cloves
            To prepare the masala tea
                        1½ cup milk
                        ½ cup water

                        1 to 1 ½ teaspoon masala powder

                        Sugar as required

NOTES:
  • The amount of spice powder is up to your choice.
  • Also I like my tea to be strong and thick (with more milk). You can adjust the water and milk ratio as per your wish.
  • Adjust the tea powder as per your wish, because the flavour and strong may vary for the various tea brands.
  • Instead of dry ginger powder you can use dry ginger also while grinding.

BANANA STEM BUTTERMILK(VAAZHAITHANDU MOR) - BEAT THE HEAT - SUMMER COOLANT RECIPES


AUTHOR: KUZHALIS SAMAIYALARAI
RECIPE TYPE: DRINKS
CUISINE: SOUTH INDIAN
SERVES: 2 PERSONS

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup chopped Banana stem
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 green chilli
  • 1 or 2 springs coriander leaves
  • few curry leaves
  • 1 inch piece ginger
  • Salt to taste


PREPARATION:
First clean the banana stem and chop it roughly.
Peel the skin of ginger and chop roughly and set aside.
Clean and finely chop the coriander leaves and curry leaves and keep it aside.
Beat the buttermilk (mor) and mix with enough water and set aside.

METHOD:
Grind the cleaned banana stem, green chillies and ginger into smooth paste by adding buttermilk.
Then mix the ground paste with buttermilk.
Add salt and chopped coriander leaves and curry leaves and mix well.
Serve in the kalayam or glas as per your wish.

VARIATION:
  • If you want you can simply add the banana stem juice only with the salted buttermilk and drink.
  • Adding little hing will give additional taste to the buttermilk.
  • You can add few lemon leaves also while grinding to make it more flavourful.

NOTES:
  • Instead of adding the banana stem paste, you can grind it with water and extract the juice and then add with the buttermilk. In case if you want to filter you can grind them as coarse paste to make the filtering process easy.
  • You can use few ice cubes also or use chilled buttermilk, but personally I don’t like to add ice cubes or use chilled buttermilk.  Instead I will use my small mud pot(Kalayam) to serve the buttermilk, which gives natural chillness to the buttermilk.

JIGARTHANDA (MADURAI SPECIAL) - BEAT THE HEAT - SUMMER COOLANT RECIPES

JIGARTHANDA (MADURAI SPECIAL) - BEAT THE HEAT - SUMMER COOLANT RECIPES

Jigarthanda is a yummy drink having Milk, badam pisin and nannari syrup as main ingredients. It is a rich and scrumptious drink loaded with cooling properties so it is perfect to drink during summer. This jigarathanda is very popular in Madurai, tamilnadu.

Then main ingredient in authentic jigarthanda is Almond gel (Badam Pisin). It is very good to cool our body from heat. It is good for kids also during summer to reduce the body heat.
It tastes great even with simple chilled sweetened milk with any flavours. I am planning to post various drink with this badam pisin here in the coming days.
The another important cooling ingredient is sarsaparilla syrup(Nannari syrup). It is very good to beat the body heat in summer. We can make juices/sarbath with this flavourful nannari syrup.
During my child hood, my father would brought a big full bottle of nannari syrup during summer and will make sarbath and have it on daily basis at afternoon time.
The third main ingredient milk will be boiled till it becomes thick to make this drink. This reduced milk will gives nice taste and richness and makes it yummy.

During my chldhood i have never tasted this jigarthanda, not even seen :). Later while working I  have first tasted this jigarthanda at murugan Idly kadai few times and also once in Madurai.too. Then I became a very big fan for this delicious jigarthanda.

JIGARTHANDA (MADURAI SPECIAL) - BEAT THE HEAT - SUMMER COOLANT RECIPES


Actually I have already posted one simple version of jigarthanda in my blog. Please check the below link

Please check the below links for mawa nad caramel syrup recipe

But in this recipe I have added/changed few things in this recipe.They are khoya/mawa and caramelsyrup. In simpler version I just added sugar with the milk. But here I added caramel syrup which gives nice flavor to this jigarthada and almost gives that authentic flavor and taste. I got this idea of adding caramel syrup from a youtube video. I loved the flavor of using caramel in this jigarathanda and it closely meets the authentic taste.
Another ingredient is khoya/mawa. It is nothing but the milk is reduces until it comes to solid state. Here I have used instant mawa using milk powder. But you can use the mawa which was prepared in traditional way, which is from milk.
