Servings 1 cup, Serves 1-2

Ingredients
 

  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 3 tablespoons besan
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • ¼ cup jaggery or coconut sugar or sweetener of choice to taste

Instructions
 

  • Melt the ghee in a small pot, then add chickpea flour and stir the two together until the chickpea flour becomes dark yellow/golden in color and gives off a nutty aroma.
  • Stir in the spices, then add the milk and sweetener. Mix well.
  • Once the milk is hot, turn off the heat. This drink is best served hot and before bed.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add more milk.
  • You can use Indian besan flour (desi chana flour) or chickpea flour in this dish - both work, though besan will have a nuttier flavor.
