Badam Milk Powder

பாதாம் பால் பவுடர் (Badam Milk Powder)

Badam milk powder is a healthy Indian drink ingredient where almonds are blended with saffron and cardamom. It is a main ingredient for preparing delicious badham milk drink. This is very popular in India. Whenever I go to courtallam, I never miss to taste this especially after taking bath in the falls. Warm badham milk is usually available in the evening and night time in street side of courtallam.
