Winters are a good time to consume nuts which have several health benefits like ;
*Rich in calories,
*Proteins
*Good source of vitamins and fats.
*Immunity booster
.
Nutritious as well as delicious to eat but most kids refuse to have them as a whole. My twinnies always request not to add nuts in porridge, cake or any rice dish.
.
My mom then told me this recipe which has all the goodness of nuts and kids won't be reluctant to have them when added in milk.
.
You just need a pan to saute, a glass jar to store and ingredients.
.
.INGREDIENTS:
Almonds – 50gms
Walnut – 50gms
Pistachios – 50gms
Cashew nuts- 50gms
Pumpkin seeds -50gms
Green cardamom -10 -15 pods
Black pepper kernels – 10-15
Pinch of saffron (Kesar)
Aniseed – 1tbsp
Turmeric – 1tbsp
Rock candy or Misri -1 tbsp
.
.
PROCEDURE
1. Saute individually all nuts like cashew, walnut, pistachios, almonds and pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for a couple of minutes. Keep them aside to cool down.
.
2. Spices like black pepper kernels, aniseed and green cardamom need to be sauteed separately in a pan just for a couple of mins, not more as aniseed would give a very strong aroma to the powder which might not be liked by kids.
.
3. Grind all the nuts in a blender and then blend spices like black pepper, green cardamom, aniseed, saffron, rock candy or rock sugar (Misri) and turmeric powder.
.
4. Now, mix all the ingredients powder in a dry bowl and store it in a glass container or jar. You can mix the powder in hot milk and serve.
.
Shelf life
This powder can be stored easily for 6-8 weeks.
.
Your kids will not only love to have milk but you too will be contended to provide them with all nutrients that their growing age needs.
