Servings: 10
Calories: 194kcal
Equipment
- 20cm square cake tin
- Saucepan
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 100 g ghee, plus exra for greasing
- 170 g gram flour (besan/chickpea flour)
- 60 g icing sugar
- 20 g ground almonds
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamon
- 10 g toasted flaked almonds
Method
- Heat the ghee in a pan. Once it has melted, add the gram flour and cook over a low heat for eight minutes, stirring often, until it starts to change colour and smell toasted. The mixture will start off clumpy but will gradually bubble and become smooth and creamy.
- Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool for five minutes.
- Meanwhile, grease a 20cm square cake tin and line with non-stick baking paper.
- Mix the icing sugar, ground almonds and cardamom together in a bowl, then add the toasted gram flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined tin, then spread it out and level the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle the toasted flaked almonds on top and let it cool in the refrigerator for five to 10 minutes until firm.
- Cut it into small squares and serve. These sweets will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Let them sit at room temperature for an hour before serving.
