An adapted version of marathi piyush

Piyush is the marathi version of lassi and is a popular drink in the state of Maharastra. I first learned about this drink after trying this in a Marathi restuarant in Mumbai, named Aaswad (formally called “Aaswad Upahar & Mithai Gruh.”)

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of yogurt
2. 2 cups of cow milk
3. 4 tablespoons of cooked saffron
4. 1/4 cup of cane sugar
5. 2 tablespoons of cardamom
6. 3 tablespoons of rose syrup

Instructions:

1. Cook the sugar on a low flame until it turns into a syruppy texture and add a little water to it once its off the pan.
2. Put the rest of the ingredients in a blender in the meawhile.
3. Now add the sugar syrup (that you made in step 1) to the blender.
4. Blend!
5. Serve!
