"HAPPY DIWALI" to all of you......... Hope you all have a nice time together.......
For this diwali i made some Badam Laddoo's ,Pulihora,Payasam.
Guessing you all too have some mouthwatering festive foods for this diwali......
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup=1 cup measured of standard measuring cup
Whole Almonds-----------1 cup
Sugar-----------------------1 cup(can opt for more)
Soy Milk-------------------1/2 to 3/4 cup
Ghee-----------------------3tbp or more if you want them richer
Cardamom powder--------1/4 tsp
Nutmeg powder-----------a pinch(optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1.Take 2 cups of boiled water and soak the almonds for 1 hour or can simply microwave them for 3-4 mins approximately and then leave for an hour to soak.
2.Let them cool and carefully peel the skin off the almonds.
3.Finely grind the almonds with small amounts soymilk (about 2 tbsp). You can add a little bit more now and then until you get a nice smooth and thick paste.
4.Make sure you make the paste very thick else it takes more time to cook.
5.In a deep pan melt the 1 cup sugar with the 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water and let it boil.
6.When it comes to a rolling boil add the ground almond paste and stir well to avoid any lumps.
7.Keep stirring the mixture to avoid sticking it to the bottom of the pan.
8.In between add a tsps of the ghee at regular intervals. The ghee will immediately get incorporated in the mixture.
9.Keep stirring and cooking till the mixture gets slightly thick (not runny)and where u feel you will be able to form nice balls.
10.Add the cardamom powder,nutneg powder if you wish and switch of the heat and let it cool.
11.Roll into small balls when you are able to hold it quite cold and serve.
