Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  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.

  2. Boil Milk

    In a pot, bring 1 liter of milk to a boil over medium heat.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  6. Add Chopped Nungu

    Once the milk mixture has cooled, add 7-8 finely chopped pieces of nungu to it. Stir gently.

  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.

  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.
