Chilled Cashew nut milk with fruits, falooda sev and basil seeds…Yummy!
This is quite a healthy and nutritious drink, ground cashew nuts are cooked in milk and condensed milk seasoned with saffron, chill the seasoned cashew nut milk. While serving, I added mixed fruits, falooda sev, soaked basil seeds, dates and honey. These made this drink so delicious.
