Nutty Licks


 Surely an usual name for my new dessert for the New Year-2024 !


Right from my childhood used to enjoy eating Horlicks than drinking it with milk. I had bought for grandson, which was partly used, at times, I used to eat it. The saddest part with Horlicks is it gets hard quickly 😥 As it was just few hours left for 2024 to step into ooour lives, poured some hot water in the jar, waited for some time shook it, it got partly liquid, Then poured some more hot water shook well, I'ld hear it rolling in, then poured it in my pan, could take part the solid part too. Nuts + Horlicks, hence I named it Nutty licks !


INGREDIENTS

Horlicks mixed with water into thick liquid 1 big cup

Fos\x nut/ makhana  1 cup roasted lightly till crisp

Flattened rice/ avil  1/2 cup roasted

besan  1/2 cup roasted well

almonds 1/4 cup

cashew nuts  1/4 cup

jsggery  1 cup it was powder and few solids too

sugar 2 tbsp

ghee  2 tbsp ( including coating my plate)

milk  about 400 ml or little more

METHOD

in a heavy pan, after heating it, roasted fox nut, kept it aside, roasted avil, put it with fox nuts, then roasted besan well, put on top of avil, then roasted nuts, put it with other roasted items, powdered it when slightly cold.

In the same pan, added the Horlicks mixture, kept mashing the solid well, then added milk, mixed it all well, then added the powdered nuts little stirring well to prevent it getting solid, slowly added all the powder, added jaggery and little sugar, kept stirring continuously,  or else it can get stuck down in the pan. When it was getting thick, spread some ghee on the plate in which I was going to put it to set. Then added some ghee to the mixture stirring well, once all the ghee got absorbed, added little more ghee and kept cooking till it came together as a mass, felt the sides hard, spread it on the plate, kept it to  set. 

Then went to hear Karoke organised for the New Years' eve celebration, heard the pleasing music, sung both in Tamil and Hindi, had dinner,couldn't cut into pieces, rolled into balls and kept it in the fridge to set after  rolling into balls. In the morning after breakfast went to give to some old people to get their blessings.Nobody could guess what it was made from !
