Elevate your Janmashtami experience and treat yourself to the auspicious occasion with a symphony of taste, flavors, and nutrition. Our 'Divine Delight Almond Kheer' resonates with the joyous spirit of the celebration, offering a harmonious blend of tradition and indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds, soaked overnight
- 4 cups of A2 milk
- ½ tbsp organic jaggery to taste
- A pinch of saffron strands
- ¼ tsp cardamom powder, for flavor
- Chopped nuts, cashew nuts, pistachios, for garnishing
Instructions
- Grind the pre-soaked almonds into a fine paste using a little A2 milk.
- In a pan, heat the remaining milk and let it come to a boil.
- Add the almond paste and stir well. Simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add saffron strands and cardamom powder to the kheer and mix.
- Sweeten the kheer with jaggery, adjusting the amount to your taste preference.
- Continue to cook until the kheer thickens to the desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Garnish with chopped nuts before serving.
Power tips and variations
- One can use coconut milk as an alternative to A2 milk. The coconut flavor pairs well with the almond's nuttiness, creating a delightful twist on the traditional recipe.
- To incorporate dates instead of jaggery, you can soak them in warm water to soften them and then blend them into a paste.
Notes
- Almonds are rich in healthy fats, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and protein.
- A2 cow milk is a rich source of beta-casein protein. Also, it contains minerals such as calcium, potassium, and phosphorus, which aid strong bones and teeth, better functioning of muscles, and regulation of blood pressure.
