Notes
- The quality of nuts used to make masala doodh powder plays a crucial role in rendering the perfect rich taste and flavor. I recommend using fresh and top-quality almonds and other nuts.
- Roast all the nuts and spices slightly before you grind them. This is a crucial step that enhances the taste and flavor of the powder.
- Set the roasted nuts and spices aside before grinding to let them cool down completely. This will help attain the right texture for the masala powder. It will also make the blending process easier and faster.
- I prefer using regular sugar to make this powder. However, you may use alternative sweeteners if you want. Make sure you check the sweetness so that it is perfectly balanced with the amount of nuts used in the mixture.
