    About Turri Drink

    Turri is a healthy and nutritious drink from the Indian subcontinent. It is made using dried nuts, coconut, dates, and milk and is popularly served during the month of Ramazan (A Muslim fasting festival).

    Turri is mostly served for sehri which means before the onset of the fast. This drink keeps you full for a long time and gives enough energy to the body to sail through the entire day without having any food or water.

    It is also a great drink for pregnant and lactating mothers.

    Turri can be served hot or chilled. You can easily scale the recipe as per your requirements.

    Ingredients

    Dried Nuts – This drink is made using almonds (badam), cashew nuts (kaju), pistachios (pista), dry coconut, and foxnuts (makhana).

    Dried Fruits – Dried fruits like seedless dates and dried figs are used to make turri.

    Seeds – You will need melon seeds (magaj) and white poppy seeds (posta). If poppy seeds are not available, skip adding them.

    Others – You will also need ghee, whole milk (full-fat milk), cardamom powder, clove powder, and sugar.

    Use vegan milk like oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or almond milk in place of dairy milk to make vegan turri drink.

    You can skip any dried nuts, fruits, or seeds if they are not easily available.

    Storage Suggestions

    Turri can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Serve it chilled or heat it before serving.
