By Aanchal Mathur

While you might have already tasted different types of watermelon coolers, have you ever tried a muskmelon or kharbuja one?  

Ingredients

Musk Melon - 1 Water- 2 glass Sago - 1/4 cup Milk - 2 cup Custard Powder - 1 tbsp Condensed Milk - 5 tbsp Sabja Seed - 2 tbsp   Chopped Pistachio   Chopped Almonds

Step 1

Halve one muskmelon and remove the core along with the seeds. Scoop out the remaining fleshy pulp of the melon using a spoon. Blend the pulp to form a puree. 

Step 2

In a pan, cook the sago pearls in water on high flame. Once they are almost transparent, switch off the heat, strain them and set aside. 

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the custard powder with a little water to form a thin mixture with no lumps. 

Step 4

In a big wok, heat milk over low to medium flame. Before it comes to a boil, add the custard powder mixture and stir continuously. Add in the condensed milk and mix thoroughly.  

Step 5

Finally, add the muskmelon puree and stir well. Cook for around 2 more minutes and then transfer to a bowl to cool.

Step 6

Once the drink has cooled, add soaked sabja seeds as well as sago pearls from earlier. Mix well, pour the drink into glasses and add toppings of choice.
