Just add a tsp full to boiling milk with a little bit of haldi powder (Optional) and have every night ..... for a sound sleep ......You can also add a dash of pepper powder while boiling if you catch that inevitable cold ...
Masala Milk or Masala Doodh needs no Introduction to any Indian. Almost everybody has had a taste of this milk which is very common in every household. Due to time constraint many a time we buy this Masala from Stores which is very costly. Also one is never sure of the quality and the ingredients added in Branded Products. This is a powder that can be easily prepared with most of the ingredients that are readily available in the Kitchen.
Masala Doodh / Masala Milk can be prepared instantly with this powder and offered to guest who give surprise visits. The powder if prepared and kept in the fridge has a long shelf life and is very helpful indeed. Young, Old and Children all enjoy this drink very much. This drink is very enegizing too. A good and healthy drink to be had also before you retire to Bed to induce a good sleep.
Many people add some stronger spices like pepper to this masala powder, but I have not added it as we prefer it this way. It is upto individual choice. You can add in a 1 teaspoon of pepper while grinding the masala to powder if you wish. Also some do add sugar while grinding the masala powder. I have refrained from adding sugar at initial stage as nowadays the addition of sugar does not go well with many of my friends, who are asked to refrain from sugar for health issues.
Sugar can always be added when serving as per individual requirement. Many a friends / relatives enjoy this drink without sugar too and there are some who go in for artificial sweeteners too which I would alsways advice against using. However if you wish to add sugar while grinding the powder you can do so as per your taste. It is said that milk powder is also added to the branded masala available in the market. I am not sure about it. But my guess if it is added is that, it will give thickness to the milk when you boil it. So if the milk available in your town is not thick enough, you can go ahead and add the same.
To Prepare the Masalat Milk : Put one glass of milk in a vessel and keep it on medium heat, add in 1 tsp of the masala milk powder and 1 tsp of sugar or as per individual taste to the milk when it starts getting hot. Mix well and bring to a boil, lower heat and let simmer for two minutes. Mix well, Your Masala doodh / Masala Milk is ready to be served. Serve hot with some snacks. You can have this drink just before you retire to bed to get a good sleep.
For Winter Season : You can just add 1/4 tsp haldi / turmeric powder when you bring the milk to boil and then add the masala milk powder. You can also add a dash of pepper powder while boiling if you catch that inevitable cold.
