Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 cup Besan (Chickpea flour)
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1.5 cups Full Cream Milk
- 0.75 cup Cane Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped Cashews
- 0.25 cup Chopped Almonds
- 0.25 teaspoon Saffron Strands
Instructions
Prepare a baking dish or a tray by greasing it lightly with ghee and set it aside.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.
Add the besan (chickpea flour) to the pan and roast it in the ghee, stirring continuously until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma, about 10-12 minutes.
Gradually add the almond flour to the pan, continue roasting for another 5-7 minutes, ensuring it doesn't burn.
Slowly pour in the full cream milk, stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming. Lower the heat if necessary.
Once the milk is well incorporated, add the cane sugar. Mix well and cook until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the cardamom powder, chopped cashews, chopped almonds, and saffron strands into the mixture, stirring to combine evenly.
Continue to cook the mixture on low heat until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan, approximately 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the mixture onto the greased tray, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Allow it to cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set properly.
Once set, cut the gudpak into squares or diamond shapes before serving.
