About Karupatti Paal

Karupatti Paal is a traditional drink made in many South Indian homes. In this recipe, instead of sugar, palm jaggery is used which gives natural sweetness and simple taste. The milk slowly takes in the palm jaggery flavor and changes color little bit. Palm jaggery is rich in iron and consuming it regularly increases hemoglobin.

This palm jaggery milk is easy and simple to make but follow the steps and tips correctly else milk will curdle if palm jaggery milk is heated. It feels good for throat and helps in digestion also. This drink is often given during cold time. It gives warm feeling inside. You can also have it on normal days.

The drink is smooth and light, so it is easy to drink. Dry ginger powder adds light heat and nice flavor which balances the sweetness. I usually make this fresh and serve it immediately. It feels like a small comfort drink after a long tiring day. I don't prefer storing it as fresh one taste much better, also reheating is not recommended for this drink.

Palm Jaggery is a better alternate to white sugar as it is less processed. It helps to give instant energy and is easy to digest. When mixed with milk, it becomes simple and healthy drink. It does not feel heavy even after drinking and feels like small comfort drink. I usually prefer this over sugar milk.

Vanilla Milkshake - 2 ways

• Vanilla Milkshake with icecream - This is a classic combination of just blending chilled milk along with sugar , vanilla icecream and vanilla essence.
• Vanilla Milkshake without icecream - This is slightly a low fat version replacing icecream. Freeze 2 cups of milk overnight until fully frozen then add it along with milk, vanilla essence a little more of sugar and blend until thick and creamy.

Vanilla Milkshake Ingredients

• Milk - Use full fat milk especially for milkshakes to get creamy smooth shake just as in restaurants. Boil cool down then chill the milk.
• Ice cream - I have used vanilla icecream here. If you do not want to use icecream then freeze 2 cups milk and add it while blending replacing icecream.
• Vanilla extract - Though we use vanilla ice cream I use a dash of vanilla extract or essence to get the punch. I have used homemade vanilla extract. But if you don't have vanilla essence then just skip it and use just vanilla ice cream.
• Sugar - Though sugar is optional I love to add it to lift the sweetness.
