Rooh Afza Thandai Lassi Recipe
What is Lassi ?
Lassi is a very popular and refreshing yogurt based drink in India, especially in Northern parts of India where it’s made thick and creamy and it’s just the perfect drink to sip on this summer.
Lassi is a traditional yogurt based drink made in North India, Punjab and Pakistan. There are many variations, sweet and salty flavors of this Indian drink and it can be made by using seasonal ingredients as well like mango rose lassi, dhabha style sweet lassi, cucumber lassi
I remember in my childhood days, my granny made lassi, and it was churned using a wooden hand whisk and a nice froth would collect on top due to churning it.
Still my father made lassi using a wooden hand whisk, I also did but now these days, made with ease of a blender, it’s very easy and quick to make equally delicious lassi within seconds.

Mohabbat Ka Sharbat or Pyaar Mohabbat Ka Sharbat is a famous, refreshing and delicious summer drink from the streets of Old Delhi. This is a 5 ingredient beverage and can be made in no time.
This is a perfect drink to consume in summers... that can give you relief from super hot sunny day. This sharbat is very popular during Ramzan and Eid.
Watermelon is my favorite fruit during summer, so I usually bring from market, after consuming two times still watermelon is still in fridge so thought what to make from this watermelon. I had usually made watermelon popsicle, slushie, or granita but wanted to try this summer something different.
Recently I saw one series on Netflix where they can show street food of every country, I saw this from India series …you know sometimes when we see something in tv e usually think we can make it in a jiffy.
So when I remembered this beautiful drink called Pyar Mohabbat ka Sharbat so I have made it and thankfully i had all the ingredients in my fridge, thanks to Bangalore summer.😰😰
This is an great drink loaded with the goodness of watermelon, rooh afza, chilled milk, sugar and ice cubes. If you don't like rooh afza or sometimes it's not available, you can try with rose syrup or rose squash also.
Healthy benefits of Eating Watermelon
Watermelon is a delicious and refreshing fruit that's also good for you. The green outer rind is hard and fleshy, and rarely eaten, while the interior is soft, red or pink flesh containing many seeds; this is the part of watermelon which is typically eaten. The healthy or beneficial effects of watermelon are mainly derived from its unique nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and organic compounds.
1. Watermelons contain a lot of potassium, which is very helpful in cleaning out the toxic depositions in the kidney.
2. It also helps hydrate your body during the hot summer.
3. The high amount of water in watermelons also stimulates a release of excess liquid in the form of sweat, which cools your body further during hot summer days.
4. Watermelon is made up of 92% water and is effective in reducing both your body temperature and blood pressure.
This beautiful pink colored drink is popular in the streets of Old Delhi or Purani Dilli Pyaar Mohabbat Sharbat is available all through the summer at Nawab Qureshi's stall near to Jama Masjid, Delhi who sell this drink for just hardly 10-20 rupees per glass.

HAPPY SUMMERS & ENJOY 💗💗
Vanilla Cake is a simple and classic cake recipe made with vanilla essence and chocolate chips, ready in under 60 minutes. An easy Vanilla Cake with a soft and moist crumb and great vanilla flavor. This Vanilla cake recipe is the perfect base for a birthday cake or any special occasion.
I made cake at home in almost every occasions or sometimes no occasions required to bake a cake...me, and my whole family are big fan of homemade cakes. So, I usually bake once in 15 days mostly banana and carrot cake, but this time I made my own favorite Classic Vanilla Cake.
CAN I ADD OIL OIL INSTEAD OF BUTTER IN A CAKE
If you run out of butter, then you can replace it with canola oil or olive oil for this vanilla cake, but if you use butter in the cake helps keep moist and light.
Adding butter into cake adds some flavor to the cake that won't be there if you don't use it or replace it with oil.
Keep your cake in fridge covered with foil paper, I usually keep my cake with cake pan and covered it with foil paper, so it won't dry and when you want to eat. Take your cake out of the fridge, cut it & warm it in microwave for 10 to 20 seconds otherwise keep the cake outside to come in their own room temperature. The Slice it and serve it.
1. After the homemade vanilla cake comes out of the oven, make sure it cools down completely BEFORE SLICING.
2. If you’re having trouble with your vanilla cake sticking to the cake pans once they’re done baking, try lining the bottom of the cake pan with a piece of parchment paper. Trace the bottom of the pan on the parchment paper, then cut out the circle and it should fit exactly.
3. Make sure you sift together your dry ingredients before adding them to the cake, to make sure everything is evenly dispersed before adding to the wet ingredients. If you don’t have a sifter, you can whisk your dry ingredients together but the texture might be slightly less light in the final cake.
4. For this vanilla cake recipe, make sure you bring the butter and eggs to room temperature before starting. This will make it much easier to evenly mix everything together.
5. I always use salted butter, so I can add a pinch of salt in as it necessary. If you want to use unsalted butter, you would add salt more salt to the dry ingredients.
6. Try topping this vanilla cake recipe with a few tablespoons of powdered sugar and your favorite ingredients like choco chips, berries, strawberries etc..

HAPPY COOKING & ENJOY💕💕
This is one of the easiest and my all-time favorite homemade pizza dough recipe. With juts few ingredients and no fancy flours required. No need to ferment for longer period in just 1 to 2 hours to rise and about 10 minutes of kneading. How interesting isn't?
We make pizza at least once a week. This recipe for pizza crust from scratch can be made the day you want to use it or made ahead and frozen. It has become one of our favorite pizza dough recipes and it is very versatile.
This recipe has been tried and tested it many times in my kitchen, making the best homemade pizza. My family like homemade pizza better than to take out!
If you’re uncomfortable working with yeast or making your own pizza dough at home, rather than to go for outside pizza base or pizza crust. I’ll walk you through every step of the process in my video just below the recipe. You’ve got this!
Yeast baking isn’t all that scary or hard, that's my personal experience i used to watch photos and recipes among social media and always think to make it. But afraid from inside, but once I used to take risk on it, I am more confident to work with yeast. So you can make your own super simple pizza crust at home in a matter of hours, no fancy ingredients required.
This pizza dough is made with all-purpose flour. I have tried with half-half of whole wheat and all purpose flour or simply with wheat flour too. So you can opt out this flour with your favorite flour. It turns out perfect every time.
We are a pizza loving family. Who doesn't love the pizza nowadays except our elder generation but nowadays they also move out according to the time.
You can even try more appetizers recipe for get together or kitty parties or party snacks
Prep Time: 20 mins Proofing Time: 2 hours Total Time: 2 hour 20 mins Yield: 2 balls of dough, 24 slices Category: Main Dish Cuisine: Italian
[ 1 cup =240 ml, 1 tsp = 5ml, 1 tbsp = 15ml]
INGREDIENTS for 2 large Pizza :
All Purpose Flour/Maida- 3 cups + 2 tablespoon for dust
Sugar - 2 teaspoon
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
Instant Dry Yeast- 1 and 1/4th teaspoon
Warm water - 1 cup
Olive Oil/Vegetable Oil- 2 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon for fermenting
Preparation Method :
1. Start by combining warm water with your yeast and some sugar. It should start to froth up after a few minutes. If it doesn’t, toss it and start again. You water may be too warm or your yeast may be bad. Once it’s frothy, add in the vegetable oil.
2. Combine the salt and the flour, and start adding the flour to the mixer, the dough will still look pretty wet and sticky. It will not pull away from the sides of the bowl by itself, but you should be able to scrape it down with a spatula.
3. Knead the dough and add more flour as needed so it’s not sticky.
4. Grease a large bowl. I usually just pour some vegetable oil or olive oil in the bottom of the bowl, then scrape the dough out into the bowl. Add some oil on top so the dough won't be dry!
5. Cover the dough with a towel or cling wrap and allow it to rise until it is double in size. This usually takes about an hour, I kept 2 hours for better results depending on how warm the house is. I will often put the bowl in the oven with just the oven light on, which tends to give it a good temperature for rising.
6. Sprinkle some flour on a work surface. Lightly punch the dough down, then turn it out onto the floured surface.
7. Use floured hands to start pulling the dough up and around, gathering the ends together and forming a smooth ball on one side. Turn the ball over, so the top now is smooth.
8. Divide the ball into 2 equal portions. You can weigh them to keep them even, or I almost always just eyeball it.
9. Voila! Your pizza dough is ready for baking. If the dough is still a bit sticky when you go to roll it out, just sprinkle on a little more flour. I like to actually use my hands to stretch the dough first and then use rolling pin.
10. Use the dough to bake up your pizza with your favorite toppings!
