Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 3 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 1.25 cups Water
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Almonds, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Cashews
- 1 tablespoon Pistachios, chopped
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the almond flour to the pan and roast it for about 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously, until it turns a light golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan, bring 1.25 cups of water to a boil. Add saffron strands to the boiling water and let it infuse for a minute.
Once the almond flour is roasted, carefully add the saffron-infused boiling water to the pan. Stir continuously to avoid any lumps.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture, stirring constantly until the water is absorbed completely.
Add the remaining tablespoon of ghee, sweetener, and cardamom powder to the pan. Mix well until the sheera thickens and the ghee starts to separate.
In a small pan, heat a drop of ghee and roast the sliced almonds, cashews, and chopped pistachios until they are golden brown.
Add the roasted nuts to the sheera and mix well.
Turn off the heat and transfer the low carb sheera to a serving bowl. Serve warm, garnished with extra nuts if desired.
