Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp gond katira, soaked (see tip)
  • 500 ml chilled full-fat milk (2 cups)
  • 3 tbsp sugar, or to taste
  • 1 tbsp rose syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tbsp tukh malanga, soaked (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped pistachios
  • Ice cubes, to serve

Method

  1. Rinse the soaked gond katira in a sieve until the water runs clear. It should look like soft, clear jelly.
  2. Stir the sugar into the chilled milk until fully dissolved.
  3. Add the rose syrup and cardamom powder and mix well.
  4. Divide the gond katira and tukh malanga between two tall glasses.
  5. Pour the sweetened milk over them and add a few ice cubes.
  6. Top with chopped pistachios and serve straight away.
Good to know: Soak 1 tbsp gond katira in 1 cup water for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. It swells to several times its size.
