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.
