Cumin - Roasted Gram(பொரிகடலை/Bhuna chana) Milk For Toddlers and Kids..A very good alternative for the usual Badam milk, dryfruits milk etc..The cumin seeds is the main ingredient of the recipe which gives an excellent flavour to the milk, and helps in digestion as well..Usually I add cardamom, clove or sometimes even cinnamon too to the milk for the digestion purpose, and now cumin is one more in the list..Adding roasted gram is an additional ingredient to provide extra nutrition..A must try Rcp for toddlers and kids, dear mommies..
Cumin water is a must in our native wedding ceremonies till before a decade..I jus lov that water served after the heavy lunch for digestion in our Muslim weddings..A month back, when I made biriyani on a Sunday, made the cumin water too for lunch..With the cumin residue still on the vessel, I boiled milk on the same vessel for myself for evening, while feeling lazy to make tea..Added some sugar to the cumin milk and after the first sip, I was like, 'wow, why haven't I tried this till date'..Immediately I thought to follow the rcp for my kid, and post in the blog as well..
But the cumin milk would be a much simpler Rcp to post in the blog..So I thought of adding another ingredient too to make it healthier, and some leftover roasted gram dal in the pantry came into my mind..Made the rcp, turned out soo good, and here it is..
