A creamy and comforting Indian drink made from blended almonds, warm milk, and fragrant spices like saffron and cardamom. This wholesome beverage is perfect for chilly evenings or as a nourishing treat.
Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add the almonds and soak in the hot water for 30 minutes. Drain the water and peel the skin off the almonds. In a small blender, combine the peeled almonds with 1/4 cup of the milk and blend to a smooth, fine paste.
Gently warm 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl. Add the saffron strands and set aside to infuse for 10-15 minutes to release their color and aroma.
Pour the remaining milk into a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the almond paste, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in the sugar, cardamom powder, and the saffron-infused milk.
Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the milk thickens slightly. Turn off the heat. Garnish with slivered pistachios and almonds. Serve warm or chilled.
