You know this might sound really weird to you and/or whoever reads this review, but when I took the first sip of this, I felt like I was sailing on the Titanic and really enjoying myself! Haha! Today is a very auspicious day for us. It's what we call 'Shani Jayanti'(its the day of the God of the planet Saturn!) and I was fasting all day. I broke my fast with a glass of this drink at 6pm and I feel so refreshed, gosh, I feel like a queen! What a beautiful drink this is!! I did use only milk(and not yogurt)as I am trying of late not to mix the two together. You know, what I loved best about this is adding 'rose water' in this recipe. I don't remember doing this ever. But, in this drink, what I REALLY LOVED is the individual taste of the rose water. The sliced and toasted almonds also made this really presentable and even more appealing! I can't thank you enough for a really refreshing drink! Thank you sooooooo much. I'll be making this again and again and again until the market runs out of mangoes! ;)

I just love this drink! Instead of ice cubes I used frozen fruit(strawberry`s and melons) I did make it with a fresh mango. I skipped the milk and used just yogurt and water.

4 1/2 stars. Although my mother and father raved about it I thought it was just OK. I made the banana version and since my bananas were not properly ripe (brown tip/brown spots) I did add some white sugar to sweeten it some more. Like another reviewer I only used ice cold water, I freshly ground cardamom in my mortar and pestle but still did not taste it that much, maybe I estimated the quantity wrong though. I used Iranian rose water (superior to Indian etc. in my opinion). I liked the toasted almond garnish but make sure to toast them beforehand or they will be sizzling hot on top!
