We make this drink in our family when someone has a bad throat or is suffering from runny nose, cold. We use all except the cocoa powder! I make this according to recipe and it just tasted what we call as "Kashaya". We use raw spices instead of curry powder like cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black pepper and jaggery or honey.

This was amazing! I think the addition of vanilla would really help this drink, but other than that it was really good.

Today I'm at home, it's cold and windy outside, and I have a stack of paperwork to go through, so I thought I'd make up some of the Spicy Hot Chocolate I remember watching Aarti make on her show. I've been collecting Indian spices and have made several Indian dishes lately, and am developing a real love for the spices. This recipe sounded amazing.
So I made it, just as the recipe reads, and it is really good.
I gave it 4 stars because after the first taste, I thought it just needed some rounding out, so I added a little vanilla. Now, it's perfect, and it's sitting here, steaming away, beckoning me to come drink it! My paperwork will 'go down' so much easier now!
Thank you Aarti, your recipes are inspired!

This was amazing! I loved the mixture of the curry flavor with the chocolate. This is the best hot chocolate I've ever had! Very good on a cold, snowy day.

I made this for my family and another family we had visiting. So, the tasters were two dads, two moms, one four year old, one three year old and one two year old. It was strongly disliked by one dad, the four year old and the three year old. It was strongly liked by one dad, one mom and the two year old. I (the final mom am ambivalent. I think I would like it better a little sweeter, but my friends liked the lack of overpowering sweetness. If someone else makes it then I'll drink it, but I won't be making it again since my husband and child were in the dislike group.

Intriguing and wonderful! I made it with skim milk. It has a very unique flavor--kind of like curried hot chocolate but really does warm one up inside. Even my kids ages 4 and 6 loved it! The recipe said that the milk was warm enough when bubbled formed around the perimeter, but that wasn't the case for me--I had bubbles, maybe from stirring, but it wasn't hot then. I may add the extra with more milk and chai concentrate tomorrow.
