## Notes
* firstly, make sure to roast the nuts on low flame else the nuts will not turn crunchy from inside and release oil while grinding.
* Also, if you have access to the chopper mixer grinder, it is best to powder it with it, as it will keep the crunchy bite of nuts.
* Additionally, I have not added sugar to the mixture, as we can adjust the sugar depending on the preferences.
* Finally, **Masala Milk Recipe** or **Masala Doodh Recipe** tastes great when served chilled or hot.
