Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Nungu Paste
Peel the skin off 2 pieces of nungu (palm fruit). Place them in a blender with a small amount of milk and blend until a smooth paste is formed.
Step 2: Boil Milk
In a pot, bring 1 liter of milk to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3: Combine Nungu Paste with Milk
Once the milk starts to boil and froth, add the blended nungu paste from Step 1 to the boiling milk. Stir well to combine.
Step 4: Add Sweeteners and Flavor
Add 3 tablespoons of milkmaid (condensed milk) and 2-3 tablespoons of badam powder (almond powder) to the milk mixture. Stir until well incorporated.
Step 5: Add Sugar and Cook
Add 3/4 cup of sugar (adjust to your desired sweetness) to the mixture. Mix everything thoroughly and continue to cook for a few minutes until it boils and thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 6: Add Chopped Nungu
Once the milk mixture has cooled, add 7-8 finely chopped pieces of nungu to it. Stir gently.
Step 7: Prepare Garnish
In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee. Add sliced almonds and chopped cashews and fry them until they turn golden brown. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 8: Garnish and Serve
Add the fried nuts from Step 7 to the prepared dessert and mix. Pour the dessert into serving glasses and serve chilled for the best taste.
