This is a milk based sweet that is our family favourite.
Recently I wanted to have it but found that the usual shops from where we used to
buy have stopped making. Checked the internet for recipe and found that it is
not tough to make at home, and that is what we did!
Ingredients
½ litre milk
1 ½ cups mava (solidified milk, that is prepared by keeping
milk on low fire, stirring continuously till it becomes solid)
2 tbsps sugar
A few strands of saffron soaked in 1 tsp water for 10
minutes
¼ tsp cardamom powder
10 badams (almonds) slivered to garnish
Instruction
-
Break the mava into small particles with fingers
and mix it into the milk
-
Keep this milk mava mixture in a thick bottomed
pan on fire. When it boils, reduce flame and keep stirring to avoid it sticking
to the bottom
-
When the mixture becomes thick, add the sugar (this
makes it thinner now) and keep stirring
-
Add the cardamom powder and the saffron strands
along with the water, mix well
-
Wait till the desired consistency is achieved,
keeping in mind that it will become thicker on refrigeration
-
Remove from fire, allow to cool and refrigerate before
serving
-
Serve with the badam slivers spread on the top.
