Ingredients

Number of serving: 2

1 cup coriander seeds

1/2 cup fennel seeds

1/2 cup cumin seeds

1 tablespoon of kasaya powder

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon sugar or any other sweetener

Preparation

Method Roast the seeds in a pan on low heat till they are crisp.
Take care not to burn them. They can also be toasted in the oven.
Completely cool the roasted seeds and grind them into a fine powder.
Store in an air tight container. This powder stays good for 1-2 months but refrigeration can extend its life by another 2-3 months.
But it is always good to prepare it on monthly basis to retain the original flavor of the spices.
Put the water in a vessel and add the kasaya powder to it. Get it to a boil and add milk. Give it a stir or two and remove from heat.
Keep the vessel covered for 3-4 minutes to let the flavor of the spices steep into the kasaya.
Strain the kasaya with a tea strainer. Add sugar as per taste and serve hot.
