THREE CHEERS TO BLOGGGGGGGGGGGGING! HIP HIP HURRAY!

BADAM CAKE

Ingredients:

Badam/ Almonds- 1 tumbler (measure)

Sugar - 3 tumblers (measures)

Milk - for grinding the badam flakes

Cardomom (elaichi) - 4-5

Ghee

Method:

Soak the raw badams (almonds) in hot water and remove the skin.

Put the skin removed badam flakes in a mixie and grind to a fine paste by adding milk.

Now after grinding the paste remove from the mixie and pour it in a kadai.

Add the 3 measures of sugar on the paste and keep on stirring and mixing on a low flame so that it does not get heated from below.

Keep stirring constantly which takes approximately 15- 20 minutes.

In the end when the mixture starts floating, just put off the gas and add elaichi powder and little ghee and mix nicely.

Now take a steel plate and grease it with ghee and pour the mixture and flatten nicely.

When it is lukewarm just draw lines crosswise and lengthwise to cut the pieces.

When it comes to normal after the heat slowly remove the pieces one by one and put them in a

container.
