Almond or Badam Ladoo

Another delicious yet very easy to make sweetmeat. It is made with a mixture of ground almonds, milk powder, syrup and spices. You may grind your almonds at home or buy it from the supermarkets. My local grocers have a machine where one can make one's own peanut or almond butter. I usually buy the ground almonds from there.

Here is the recipe


INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups ground almonds
  • 500g Klim full-cream milk powder or any brand of full cream milk powder
  • pinch salt
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • sliced almonds (colored) for decoration
  • 2 tsps. ground cardamom (elachi)
  • ½ tsp. rose essence
  • ¼tsp. ground nutmeg

Method

  • Mix almonds, milk powder and spices together smoothly
  • Mix sugar and water and bring to the boil
  • When syrup is about to spin a thread,(test between fingers), add the almond mix and stir well for about 2 minutes
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • While still warm shape into walnut size balls and decorate with ground almonds
