MANGO PIYUSH

Piyush is a very authentic and natural drink without any preservatives in it. Piyush is a great option when you want something interesting to eat at home. It is like a cold drink recipe and very ideal for summers. I already shared simple PIYUSH recipe earlier on my blog where I used kesar pista shrikhand. As mango are in season, today I am sharing a recipe of Mango flavoured PIYUSH for which I used Amrakhand, thick curd and full fat milk. The addition of nuts and saffron makes it very rich. Piyush is a lot like lassi, only that it’s thicker, sweeter and richer than lassi. The flavours of green cardamom and nutmeg give Piyush an irresistible fragrance. No wonder the meaning of ‘Piyush’ is ‘Amrit’ or ‘the nectar of immortality’. Piyush cools down digestive system and gives you the much needed respite from spicy food. Piyush is popular in Mumbai and Gujarat. Piyush is delicious as well as healthy dish because it contains large amount of healthy nutrients. So surprise your feinds and family by preparing this rich, creamy restaurant style Piyush at your home and enjoy.
