Badam(Almonds) - 20
Milk - 1.5 cups
Sugar - 2 to 3 tsp
Saffron - 2 strands
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Method:
- Soak badam in hot water for 10mins. Now press the badams to peal the skin off.Grind the badams with 1 tsp milk to a fine paste and keep aside.
- Soak saffron in warm milk, set aside.Boil milk in a wide bottomed pan,add sugar and simmer it for 5mins so till milk becomes slightly thicker. Now add the saffron milk and mix well.
- Then add the badam paste. Allow it to boil for 3-5 mins.By this time the mixture starts getting thicker. Add cardamom powder, give a quick stir and switch off.
My Notes:
- Though the traditional badam kheer recipe is peeling the skin and grinding it.Sometimes I take the shortroute of just powdering almonds, sugar and mix it with milk whenever needed.
- Just powder almonds with sugar,then add saffron strands and cardamom powder. Your readymade badam mix is ready!
- It thickens with time, so switch off when its slightly thicker.
