Dry Fruit Milk

Dry Fruit Milk 

Summers are a time of conflicts. While children crave something chilled and light, a mother still worries about the lack of nutrition in their desired diet. This recipe is the compromise families require. It has the nutritional benefits of dry fruits and milk and the chilled comfort craved during summers. This recipe was omnipresent in my childhood and stayed in my mom's khazana for quite some while. She told me about this recipe when I became a mom and faced the same dilemma. It now is a khandani recipe.
