Bonus recipe: Badam Pak

Here’s our founder, Kainaz Messman’s family recipe for Badam Pak, a traditional Parsi dessert that’s a cross between a fudge and sheera.
Ingredients:
  • Roasted unsweetened mava
  • Whole almond meal (You can grind the almonds yourself)
  • Sugar
  • Rosewater
  • Pure ghee
  • Nutmeg powder
  • Almond and rose essence

Add sugar and add rosewater to a pan. Stir till the sugar dissolves completely. Turn up the heat to bring the sugar water to a boil and keep stirring till it thickens into a syrup. 

Next, roast the almond meal in pure ghee on a low flame till you get a nutty aroma wafting from the pan. Once the almond meal starts clumping, add mava to it. Mix till the mava dissolves, and then add sugar syrup to the mixture. Whisk till the mixture is smooth and starts leaving the bottom of the pan. Add nutmeg powder and almond and rose essence for added flavour.
