Editors Review
Chef Manjula is showing a very traditional Indian cold drink called thandai. It is full of flavors, is spicy yet very cooling. All ingredients of this recipe are important and together they give an amazing taste to the drink. Rose water gives a very sweet flavor to thandai. Just a little blending of ingredients and mixing produces a wonderful drink. A must try and serve drink for the coming summer season.Chef
