Ingredients
Thandai Spice Blend
- 2-3 Almonds
- 2-3 Cashews
- 2-3 Pistachios
- 1 Cardamom Pod green
- ½ tsp Fennel Seeds
- 1-2 Peppercorns black, whole
Strawberry Thandai
- 1 cup Milk

Instructions
- First, combine the almonds, cashews, pistachios, cardamom pod, fennel seeds, and black peppercorns in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.

- In a blender, combine the milk, strawberry pulp, sugar, and the prepared Thandai spice powder.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy. This helps to evenly distribute the flavors and create a creamy texture.

- Pour the Strawberry Thandai into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or a sprinkle of extra spice powder, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder or using a milder variety.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute with parsley or omit it altogether.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
