INGREDIENTS
avil 1 cup ( when washed and soaked became 1 1/2 cups)
milk 1 cup
sugar 1 cup
ghee 1 tbsp
nuts chopped 1 tbsp
cardamom pdr 1/2 tsp / essence
METHOD
as I had thick variety of red avil, I washed it well and soaked it in water to get soft
In a pan, I heated ghee, roasted the nuts, added the avil, kept on low flame, kept stirring for 2-3 minutes
then I added milk, desiccated coconut and sugar, mixed well
kept stirring till it left the sides of the pan and became a thick mass
spread it on a greased plate to set
I'ld cut into pieces.
It is healthy, as avil, has iron, calcium from milk, protein from nuts and milk, desiccated coconut has vitamin E. to make it healthier, you could add jaggery, but taste may be different.
