Chikoo Milkshake

Having milkshakes was very special day in my house.It was Achan's (Daddy)  big job to make milkshake .And Achan's milk shake was too special for all of us.We used to watch Achan doing everything running behind him , following his steps everytime.We loved the way, Achan used to crush  ice.
Amma (Mom) used to fill the ice trays with water and next day Achan used to put all the ice cubes into a thorthu (a  thin bathtowel used by Indians) And tying a aknot at the end and hiting the towel on the "amikallu" 10-15 times. Just open the towel  "Ta-da!". crushed ice cubes are ready.
Now add the crushed ice cubes  with other ingredients and  make milkshakes.
Now I get crushed ice directly from my refrigerator  or I  usually add ice cubes to the  blender and really miss the  way Achan does.

Ingredients:
Chikko - 1 cup ( As it is difficult to get chikkoo's in  the US, I usually get it from the frozen section in the Indian grocery store)
Milk-1 cup
Crushed ice cube -1 cup
Sugar - 1-2 tsp (optional)

Directions:
Add all the ingredients to a blender/magic bullet and grind to a smooth paste.
Serve chill.
