Method for Masala Milk Powder

To make Masala Milk Powder, first heat a broad non-stick pan, add the cashewnuts (kaju) and dry roast on a medium flame for 1 minute. Do keep an eye on the cashews while dry roasting as they tend to brown immediately, which isn’t very pleasing then. Remove them into a big bowl and keep aside.
In the same broad non-stick pan, add the almonds (badam) and dry roast on a medium flame for 1 minute. The skin of the almond is edible but sometimes bitter. Taste first, if it's not too bitter, don't bother removing it as it will add flavour to the recipe. Remove the almonds from the flame, add it to the bowl of cashewnuts and keep aside.
In the same broad non-stick pan, add the pistachios. Choose pistachios that have shells split open at one end. Unopened shells are an indicator of immaturity. Alternatively taste and buy shelled pistachios. Also always store pistachios in the refrigerator as they tend to turn rancid quickly. Dry roast them on a medium flame for 1 minute. Remove the pistachios from the flame, add it to the bowl of cashewnuts and almonds and keep aside.
In the same broad non-stick pan, add the last 2 ingredients for dry roasting i.e. whole cardamom (elaichi) with the shell and whole peppercorns (kalimirch) and dry roast them on a medium flame for 1 minute only. If you don’t have peppercorns in your pantry, you can avoid them. Remove from the flame and add it to the bowl of roasted nuts.
Cool all the ingredients completely. If the nuts aren’t cooled well, then post grinding, the masala powder might tend to become lumpy and this will decrease its shelf life.

Transfer all the ingredients from the bowl to a blender.
Add the sugar. Prefer to use sugar with small crystals than big crystals, just for the reason that it blends well and faster.
Close the lid of the blender and grind all the ingredients into a coarse powder. For grinding try and use a blade which has 3 to 4 prongs preferably. A blade with 2 prongs might not be able to break and grind the whole nuts uniformly. Also do not grind it for too much time. You need a coarse mixture. So the best idea is to start the grinder for about 10 to 15 seconds and put it off. Shake the jar once, restart the process of grinding and repeat the procedure once or twice more till you get the desired result.
Open the lid of the grinder and transfer the coarse powder to a big bowl or jar.
Add the nutmeg powder and mix well. Often termed as jaiphal powder, its known for its sleep inducing properties and thus added to masala milk powder. If you don’t have nutmeg powder, you can also add a very small piece of whole nutmeg to the grinding jar at step 8.

Add the rich spice saffron finally and mix well. This is added not only for its pleasing flavour and taste but also for its attractive colour. While you will also have to add saffron when you make masala milk, a small amount of saffron added at this stage in the powder will blend well with other powdered nuts.
Mix well and your masala milk powder is ready.
This masala milk powder , masala doodh powder can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to 1 to 2 months.
