The word masala milk instantly makes me to remember Hotel Saravana Bhavan chennai as the masala milk served there will be so awesome and we all are a huge fan of it. Here in Saravana bhavan they won’t serve masala milk and when i tried in some other restaurant it tasted very bad. Long time i was thinking to make this but few weeks back i had a sudden craving for masala milk i made it at home following our super enthusiastic blogger
Priya's recipe. It turned out so well and thank you priya for the recipe.
