Whenever i try something different outside i either get the recipe from the person who made it or search for the recipe in various blogs.This is one such recipe that i got from my friends mother but with a few variations here n there,but the outcome was similar to hers.



Ingredients:

2 cups whole milk
1 tin evaporated milk
1 tin condensed milk
1/2 tsp elaichi pwd
10 almonds
few strands of safforn or yellow color.

Method:

Soak the almonds in warm water n remove the skin and grind them to a coarse powder.

In a wide deep bottom pan add the whole milk on keep on low heat(atleast 3 or 4).

Keep mixing it so that it doesnt stick to the pan,now for once increase the heat to medium but still keep mixing it.

When it comes to a boil add the evaporated milk n condensed milk n again reduce the heat and keep mixing.do this for 15 mins.

Next add the almond powder and elaichi powder n few saffron strands or yellow color n mix.

Keep stirring for 10 mins,u will notice the mixture becoming thick.

Switch off the stove n remove to a bowl n let it cool.

When it comes to room temperature garnish it with few saffron strands,slivered almonds or pistachios n refrigerate it for 4 hrs or more

Serve chilled

Note:U should be patient with the whole procedure though it takes some time around 30-45 mins.Usualy it takes more time but since we are also useing already evaporated milk we reduce the time to half.

U can aslo use heavy whipping cream instead of the evaporated milk.
