Re: badaam/khashkhash sherbet

Interesting request Sajal. I never had that.

Re: badaam/khashkhash sherbet

sorry chanda should have PM'ed me :) Luckily I scrolled down to see who else would have a recipe since I think it is sort of 'home grown' :)

So here it is if you can comprehend it.

Soak the almonds in water over night and then peel them :-) [tough job!]
Take khashkhash (ksh) and stick it in the tiny food processor - don't wash the ksh and then grind it otherwise it will go bad if you store the leftover ksh.

  • For one TBSP of ground ksh take 15 almonds (this will make 6 glasses)
  • Mix just enough milk with ksh and almonds and blend it into a thick consistency. Your main purpose here is to crush the almonds into tiny chunks and create a mixture w/ ksh and milk.
  • Add some more milk and sugar (we put in 6 tsp for 6 glasses) and blend again
  • Pour the mixture into a pitcher and add about 5 medium glasses of milk
  • Stick it in the refrigetor but make sure you mix it well before serving.

We drink this like water so that's why the recipe is sort of haphazardly put together - sorry Sajal but do try it and let me know if you all like it.

Thanks. Sounds yummy.
One question though, why do u need to peel the almonds?
Can't u just soak em and then grind em or whatever?

Re: badaam/khashkhash sherbet

^ No way! the peel is going to stick to the back of your throat and cause you to choke :stuck_out_tongue: or maybe I am just paranoid :hehe:
I think you will have little brown pieces of the peel floating around in your sherbet which might not be so yummy or nice to look at.

Oh it’s the peel that’s been hurting my throat in my almond/apple
milkshakes. :eek:
