Badam ka Shira

This almond delicacy was one of the first dishes I learnt from my MIL. It is at core of Marwari cooking and adds festivity to any occasion.

Preparation Time – 30 mins

Servings – 4 people

Ingredients

100 gms almonds

½ cup ghee

½ cup sugar

½ cup milk

Soak the almonds in lukewarm water and peel off their skins. Grind them in a mixer and set aside. Heat the ghee in a pan and add the almonds to it. Roast the almond paste on low flame till it turns light brown. Add milk and bring to a boil. Keep the flame on low and add sugar while stirring continuously to prevent any lumps. Simmer for 4-5 minutes. Serve hot.

 

Tip: You can add water also instead of milk.
