Zafrani Sharbat

Seriously september went too fast for me, may be coz i was busy in cooking ,clicking and scheduling the posts for my long blogging marathon. Eventhough we planned this marathon before few months, somehow i have made many changes in my recipes, somehow am happy that i have accomplished this month's blogging marathon successfully. Thank god, i finished this whole month marathon without any difficulties.A month of blogging marathon with themes under Alphabets is definitely a fabulous experience to know more about many recipes which are not that much familiar for me,also learned many more new recipes from my fellow marathoners. All of us have done a fabulous job and love this BM group which is very close to my heart.

Honestly i'll be missing the last minute thrills and head breaking recipe's search under different alphabets.Trust me for the letter 'Z',i was between the International or Fusion, but i want to go under International cuisine for this week's theme,thats why i dont want to cook anything under Fusion dishes.My first choice for today's recipe was between a pulao and a drink. But finally i chosed this super refreshing drink, when i was searching a drink with saffron, i got this drink  from a Pakistani Tv show through google master.This refreshing chilled drink goes for saffron, milk, jellies prepared with agar agar, nuts and sabja seeds, quite an interesting drink rite. You can have this drink when the weather is too hot or as a welcome drink when you have relatives at home. With loads of nuts, this drink tastes simply awesome.


1litre Milk
1/4cup Sugar
3tbsp Pistachios
3tbsp Almonds
1/2tsp Saffron strands
1cup Jellies (recipe follows)
1/2tsp Cardamom powder
1tbsp Sabja seeds/basil seeds (soaked in water)

For Jellies:
Bring boil a cup of water with 1tbsp sugar, add in 1/4cup of agar agar pieces or 1tbsp of agar agar powder,cook until the agar agar gets dissolves.

Transfer it to a plate.

Keep it in fridge for an hour or two.

For sharbat:
Bring the milk to boil , add the cardamom powder,safffron strands,sugar, chopped pistachios, chopped almonds to the milk.

Cook everything in simmer for few minutes.

Put off the stove and let it cool completely, add in the soaked sabja seeds.

Grate the jelly ,put it in a glass.

Top it with the prepared cooled sharbat.

Keep in fridge for an hour.

Enjoy this chilled drink.

but you say and I trust you, cos I enjoyed each of your creations, as always, with beautiful pictures and on top you made it per week one theme...I know only handful of you took up this extreme challenge, still never appeared ruffled!..great job. It's been a fantastic month for us..the drink looks so inviting after all that hard work!
