Ingredients
  

  • Small handful Almonds roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp Ghee Clarified Butter
  • 1 tbsp Besan Gram Flour/Chickpea Flour
  • 500 ml Milk
  • Pinch of Turmeric Powder Haldi
  • Pinch of Black Pepper Powder Kali Mirch
  • Pinch of Ginger Powder Soonth
  • Pinch of Green Cardamom Powder Elaichi
  • Few strands Saffron Kesar, optional

  1. Heat ghee in a saucepan. Roast most of the chopped almonds briefly.
  2. Add besan to the remaining ghee and over low heat, stirring continuously, until fragrant (3-5 minutes).
  3. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring vigorously to prevent lumps.
  4. Stir in turmeric, black pepper, ginger powder, cardamom powder, and saffron. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
