ALMOND CAKE FOR DIWALI
Excuse me diabetic people.For Diwali sake, I am taking a small diversion and giving a good recipe for all. But sugar patients can substitute sugarfree powder like Equal or Splenda in the place of regular sugar.
Almond -- 1 cup
Sugar -- 2 cups
Ghee -- 3/4 cup
Milk -- 1 cup
Saffron -- 1/2 tsp
1. Soak the almond in boiling hot water for 10 minutes and peel off the skins.
2. Wash it well and soak again in hot water for about 3 to 4 hours.
3. Grind it to smooth paste adding milk and saffron. Donot add water.
4. In a broad based non stick tawa, pour one tablespoon of ghee and add the ground batter.
5. Add the sugar and keep on high fire stirring continuously.
6. Add some more ghee so that it does not stick to bottom of the tawa.
7. When the bubbles come on the sides of the mixture, keep the fire to medium and stir.
8. The cake batter will start solidifying. Add some more ghee.
9. When you take it in a laddle and pour on the batter in the tawa, it will fold like layers.
10. The correct consistency is the most important thing.
11. Take a little in a spoon, cool it and taste. If it is sticky and chewey, then you have to stir a little more.
12. When the correct consistency has arrived, the cake mixture will lose its smoothness and look a little coarse. If you taste it, it will be free to taste without being sticky.
13. Pour the cake batter on a greased flat plate and cut it into small cake pieces after it cools.
Note : Nothing will happen even if you do not get the correct consistency of a cake.If the cake mixture is a little loose, add half a tumbler of milk and one tablespoon of ghee, stir and mix well, keep it in the microwave for 2 minutes to get an excellent Badam Halwa!!!Nice idea know???
