Almond Goodness, almost known to all. Recipe Goodness:),I assure that when you make one of these:):).Ofcourse, this doesn’t call for a big sauce pan or any huge list of rare ingredients.I wanted to keep it simple that would bring out the true richness of almond.
You need :
1.Almonds (Skin removed)- ½ cup
2.Warm Water -1 cup
3.Warm Milk-1/4 cup
4.Ghee-4 -5tsp
5.Cardamom powder -1 tsp
6.Saffron Threads- 3-4
7.Yellow food color-1-2 drops
8.Sugar -2 tsp ( you can even skip it as almond has it ‘s own sweetness ; you can add more if you like it more savory)
How did I do
1.Soak Almonds in warm water for 15 minutes.You might find the almonds soft enough ,if not prolong for another 5-10 minutes.
2.Drain out the water (completely) and transfer to a blender, add 3 tsp of milk or as required and make it in to a thick,fine paste.
3.In a Sauce pan, add 4 tsp of Ghee.Once it is melted,add the almond paste, sugar per your requirement and stir continuously .Now,add the remaining milk and keep stirring.Next , add an additional spoon of ghee, drops of food color, cardamom powder and continue stirring process for around 8-10 minutes(watch out not to burn it)
4.When you find a non-stickly, soft almond paste. Remove it from the burner, add saffron threads, give a quick mix and spread it on the plate,if you want to make squares.
5.All I did is :let it cool for 5 minutes in the sauce pan and made ladoo(s) by partioning the paste to 12 small portions and decorated with Raisins.
Enjoy the semi-sweet dessert cold/warm /jus do a cold milk dressing over the Ladoo.
