Recipe by Chitra Ahluwalia Pal of New York, US

A very easy homemade Indian Dessert with a fancy name. If you make with zero calorie sugar and Skimmed Milk then it will be low calorie dessert :)

Ingredients vegetarian 4 servings


    • One liter Milk (low fat/Skim Milk)
    • Cardamom/Eliachi seeds powder
    • 1 ½ cup Sugar (Zero Calorie)
    • A few saffron strands (10) soaked in 1 cup of water.
    • ½ cup almonds grated
    • 2 tsp. condensed milk (low fat)
    • One big whole lemon or 4 tsp. of fresh lemon liquid

    For Garnishing

    • ¼ cup sliced Almonds/badaam
    • few drops of Kewra liquid

    Directions

    1. Pour the milk in a pan and keep it in medium low.
    2. Add sugar, cardamom powder, grated almonds mixture.
    3. When milk is ready to boil add saffron water along with saffron strands.
    4. Boil the milk and separate it in two portions.
    5. Separate 1/4 cup milk from the pan and heat separately in low flame.
    6. Add condensed milk till the milk thickens.
    7. Serve in Individual Bowls with thickened milk and garnish with few saffron strands and chopped almonds.
    8. Cool down the milk and refrigerate it.
