Milk masala is a blend of nuts and aromatic spices, we used to get Everest Milk masala in mustafa center here in Singapore. I have used this in many of my sweet recipes like rasmalai, motichoor ladoo, malpua.. But last time when i went and checked in mustafa it was not there. So i decided to do it at home.

I wanted to share this recipe of milk masala with you all. You can also add this to milk and drink it as masala milk too.
