Ingredients
- Almonds (de-skinned): 1 cup
- Milk (whole or skimmed): 1 cup
- Ghee (clarified butter): ¾ cup
- Sugar : 2 cups
Methods/steps
- Make a paste of almonds and milk in a food processor.
- Meanwhile, heat a non-stick or any other thick bottomed pan. Pour in the almond-milk paste, the ghee, and the sugar. Keep stirring the mixture on a low flame, till it starts leaving the sides of the pan.
- (Do not at any point, be tempted to increase the flame, especially during the later stages, as there is a high risk of the mixture getting burnt or over done.)
- In the meantime, grease a thali or a tray. Once the mixture changes colour and starts leaving the sides of the pan, pour it on to the tray and spread gently. Cool and cut into desired shapes.
Additional Tips
A word of caution: If the mixture over cooks, the end product turns out hard and crumbly. So be careful especially towards the last stages. To de-skin almonds, soak them in warm water for about an hour. The skin then peels off easily.
