Hyderabadi Badam Ka Hareera used to be a must have Sahar/Sehri dish in Ramadan in my Hydrabadi household. My Mom used to make it from scratch every morning. It can be consumed as a drink which is perfect for winter as it is consumed warm, but my Mom always used to make us the thicker version of it to enjoy with Parathas in Sehri. Made with almonds, milk, and aromatic spices, this healthy drink boosts immunity, provides energy, and keeps the body warm during cold weather. It also makes a filling sehri dish.
Tips
If you want a drinkable version then simmer it for just 5-7 minutes till it thickens, then consume it. For it to be consumed with Paratha simmer it extra 10 min to get a feerni like consistency.
Boosts immunity – Rich in almonds and warming spices.
Perfect for winter – Keeps the body warm and energized.
Healthy & Nutritious – A great alternative to tea or coffee.
Kid-Friendly & Easy to Make – A delicious drink for the whole family.
