Ingredients
▢
2
cups
Milk
▢
15-20
Almonds
▢
4-5
Cashew nuts
optional
▢
¼
teaspoon
Green cardamom seeds powder
▢
Saffron
(Kesar) few strands
▢
2
tablespoons
Sugar
▢
1
teaspoon
Rose water
Instructions
Take almonds and cashews (if using) in a bowl and add enough water to cover them. Cover the bowl and let it soak for 6-8 hours or overnight.
After soaking, peel and discard the skin of the almonds.
Save 3-4 almonds to slice for garnishing. Take remaining nuts and ¼ cup of milk in a blender.
Make a smooth paste out of it.
Take the remaining milk in a saucepan and bring it to a boil on medium heat. Once it starts boiling add prepared nut paste and mix.
Crush the saffron stands between your thumb and finger then add to the milk. Also, add sugar and mix.
Again bring the milk to a boil and keep stirring every 1-2 minutes and stay there, keep an eye on it to avoid overflowing with milk.
Let it simmer on low heat for 4-5 minutes only. Keep stirring constantly otherwise it starts to stick to the pan and starts burning.
Lastly, add cardamom powder and rose water. Mix well.
Serve this badam doodh warm or chilled with a garnish of sliced almonds.
Notes
Serving chilled doodh?
Bring the doodh to room temperature. If any malai layer is formed on top then use a handy (immersion blender) to break it and mix it into the milk.
Store in an airtight jar or bottle and keep in the refrigerator.
It stays good or 2-3 days in the fridge.
When ready to serve, stir the milk and then pour it into the glass.
Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave until warm if you don’t prefer chilled milk.
