Description

Thandai is a delightful drink made of nuts and aromatic spices that is popular during the Holi festival in India. Authentic thandai is made with cashew nuts, melon seeds, rose petals and milk, all of which unfortunately are high in carbs. This recipe is optimized for the keto diet and tastes amazing!

Ingredients
    Thandai powder
  • 2 tablespoons Almonds, roasted (~15 almonds)
  • 1 tablespoon Pistachios, roasted (~10 pistachios)
  • 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
  • 1/2 tablespoon Fennel seeds
  • 1/2 tablespoon Black peppercorns
  • Nutmeg powder (a pinch)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
    • For 1 serving of Thandai drink
  • 1 tablespoon Thandai powder
  • 2 tablespoons Raw coconut (Fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 drop Rose essence
  • Ice
Instructions

  1. In a grinder jar add roasted almonds, roasted pistachios, poppy seeds, green cardamom, black peppercorns, a pinch of nutmeg and some salt

  2. Grind this to a fine powder

  3. This powder can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days

    This recipe should give you 5 tbsp. of powder which should give you 5 servings of thandai.

  4. To make one serving of thandai, add 1 tbsp. of the thandai powder in a blender jar

  5. Add raw coconut

    You can use fresh or frozen coconut

  6. Add any keto sweetener of your choice

  7. Add 1/2 cup of water

  8. Blend very well

  9. Strain through a muslin cloth

  10. Rinse out the blender jar with another 1/2 cup of water

  11. Squeeze the muslin cloth to remove as much liquid as possible

  12. Add a drop of rose essence to the drink

    Thandai recipes usually have rose petals. Since rose petals are high in carbs we are substituting with rose essence instead

  13. Enjoy with some ice!
