Founder's Note

From Mohit, founder of Chau Foods

Hi, I am Mohit from Chau Foods. A glass of hot badam milk at night was a winter ritual when we were kids, and it still is in a lot of Delhi homes. Soak the almonds the night before and it takes ten minutes. The powder recipe is handy if you want it every day without the grinding.

1

Peel

Slip the skins off the soaked almonds. They come off easily after soaking.

2

Grind

Grind the almonds with 3 to 4 tbsp of milk into a smooth paste. Keep 3 or 4 almonds aside, chopped, for the top.

3

Boil

Bring the milk to a boil. Add the saffron and let it simmer for 2 minutes.

4

Simmer

Stir in the almond paste. Simmer on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring so it does not stick.

5

Finish

Add sugar and cardamom. Pour into glasses and top with chopped almonds.

For cold badam milk, let it cool, chill in the fridge for 2 hours and serve.

Badam Milk Powder (Make Once, Use All Month)

Lightly dry roast 1 cup almonds and 1/4 cup cashews for 3 to 4 minutes. Cool fully. Grind with 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp cardamom and a pinch of saffron to a coarse powder, in short pulses so it does not turn oily. Store in an airtight jar and stir 2 tbsp into a glass of hot milk.

Calories

A glass made with full cream milk, 8 to 10 almonds and 1 tbsp sugar is roughly 250 to 280 kcal. Using toned milk and less sugar brings it closer to 180 to 200 kcal.

They are different drinks. Badam milk is dairy milk flavoured with almonds. Almond milk sold in cartons is a plant milk made from blended almonds and water, used by people who avoid dairy, and it usually contains far fewer almonds than you would expect.

Tips

  • Soak overnight. Soaked almonds grind smoother and the skins come off easily.
  • Saffron goes in early, so its colour and smell spread through the milk.
  • For kids, use less sugar and blend the almonds very smooth.
