Dates boiled or blended in warm milk is one of the oldest home remedies in Indian kitchens. Grandmothers give it to thin children, new mothers, people recovering from illness and anyone who "needs strength". It is filling, naturally sweet and easy on the stomach for most people.

Soak
Soak 2 to 3 pitted dates in a little warm milk for 20 minutes.
Blend or mash
Blend with the rest of the milk, or mash well and stir in.
Warm
Heat gently. Do not add sugar, the dates are sweet enough.
Optional
A pinch of elaichi, 4 to 5 soaked almonds or a few strands of kesar.
Who Should Skip or Limit It
- People with diabetes: the sugar adds up quickly. Ask your doctor before making it a daily habit.
- Lactose intolerance: use lactose-free milk or curd instead.
- Weight loss: one glass is close to a small meal. Have it occasionally, not daily.
- Kidney patients on potassium limits: check with your doctor first.
A Version with What We Stock
We do not sell dates in retail packs right now. If you want something similar, anjeer milk works the same way: soak 2 dried figs overnight, blend with warm milk and a pinch of elaichi. Anjeer adds more fibre and calcium than dates and is a little less sweet. Add 5 soaked almonds for extra protein.
