Badam Milk Making With Step By Step Photos
1. Preparations for Badam milk / Almond Milk
- Take fifteen to twenty almonds in a small, neat bowl. The thickness of almond milk depends on the amount of almonds used and also the richness of milk. If looking for a thick, creamy textured badam milk, then do increase the amount of almonds and also try to use thick milk with cream.
- Pour water, normal fresh water can be used. Then soak overnight. Otherwise, pour some hot water, set aside for one hour.. But I prefer to soak the badam overnight to minimize the heat nature of badam.
- Next morning, the badam will be soft, now you can peel off its skin with your hands. It is not advisable to use the skin of badam because long use may cause indigestion.
- Transfer the peeled badams in a mixer grinder. Pour half cup of milk.
- Grind till smooth and set aside. It will be difficult to grind small quantities, use the smallest jar or your mixer grinder for this purpose.
- Take a few strands of good quality saffron in a bowl. Pour one or two tablespoons of milk and set aside. Saffron is the taste maker and color contributor to this dish. So do not skip these ingredients.
- Take another clean and dry grinding jar. Put all the dry fruits like cashews, pistachio and almonds.
- Crush coarsely and set aside.
