Kesar Malai Doodh is a winter delicacy which is made in many North Indian states. The milk is boiled in a heavy bottom pan and the cream that comes on top due to boiling is collected separately. In this process of separating the cream, the milk thickens gradually.

The steaming hot thickened milk is then poured from a height into the steel tumblers to make the foam and it is then topped with the collected cream. The rich creamy milk, topped with the cream and flavored with saffron is absolutely delicious when served during the cold winters. 

Serve Kesar Malai Doodh during winter evenings with a side of Jalebis for a tasty treat. This is a famous dessert, especialyy in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Punjab and is also served in weddings during winters.
