Bombay crush

By Kavendree Muthu-Kurten
4
Easy
25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 T Tukmuria (or subja) seeds
  • 6 cups cold milk
  • 6-8 scoops of vanilla bean ice-cream
  • 3 T rose syrup

Method

Soak the Tukmuria (or subja) seeds in water for 10 to 15 minutes.

Drain and set aside – the seeds should be spongy in appearance.

Pour the cold milk into a glass jug then whisk in the vanilla bean ice cream.

Stir in the rose syrup, add the Tukmuria seeds, pour into pretty glasses and add a dollop more ice cream to each.

Serve with home-made Turkish Delight and silver dragees.

Cook's note: Tukmuria or subja seeds are available from Indian food shops and mini markets. Read more about these delicious little seeds.
