Almond Sheera

Ingredients:

1 cup badam
3/4 cup milk
1 tbsp ghee
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
A few strands saffron mixed with 1 tsp warm water
2 tbsp sliced almonds for the garnish

Method:

Combine the almonds along with 1/4 cup of milk in a mixer and blend to a smooth paste. Keep aside. Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan, add the almond paste and cook over a medium flame while stirring continuously till it turns light pink in colour.

Add the milk and 1/4 cup of water mix well and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sugar, cardamom powder and saffron mixture and cook, while stirring continuously till the sugar dissolves and the ghee separates. Serve hot garnished with almonds.
