Ingredients

  • ·1 cup Gram flour (Besan / chickpea flour)
  • ·1/3 cup Pure desi ghee
  • ·1.5 cups Warm milk or water
  • ·1/2 cup MONKAURA Erythritol + Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • ·1/2 tsp Freshly ground green cardamom powder
  • ·1 tbsp Golden roasted cashews and almonds

Step-by-Step Method

  1. 1.Melt desi ghee in a heavy-bottomed kadai on low heat. Add gram flour (besan) through a sieve to eliminate lumps.
  2. 2.Roast the besan patiently on low flame for 12-15 minutes, stirring continuously, until the raw chickpea smell disappears and turns deep golden and fragrant.
  3. 3.Carefully and slowly pour in warm milk in batches, whisking vigorously to avoid lump formation. The mixture will froth and absorb the liquid rapidly.
  4. 4.Stir in green cardamom powder and cook for 2 minutes until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
  5. 5.Fold in MONKAURA sweetener and roasted nuts. Stir on low heat for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth, glossy, and meltingly soft.
  6. 6.Remove from heat and serve warm.
Culinary Tip

Roasting the besan patiently on low heat is crucial. Never turn up the heat, as besan burns easily.

Storage Advice

Store refrigerated in an airtight glass container for up to 4 days. Warm gently before eating.
