About Badam Milk Powder
Badam Milk Powder is a beverage mix that can be mixed with milk and consumed. You can make kulfi, payasam using this almond mix. Some variations of Badam Mix may include milk powder or dried milk solids to create a creamier texture but I haven’t added it just the goodness of nuts and flavourings.
Badam Milk Powder is rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. To prepare badam mix, you need to mix the powdered mixture with hot or cold milk, stir it well until sugar dissolves and your delicious creamy Badam drink is ready. Saffron and cardamom lends a great flavour to this drink.
Storebought mixes are always loaded with just sugar as main ingredient so it is always best to make Badam Powder at home.
There are many ways to make this Badam Milk Powde. I have shared 2 ways of making Badam powder :
- Blanching & Roasting – I have shared this recipe previously where the almonds are blanched then roasted and grinded along with palm sugar candy and flavourings. This is a healthy version using panangkarkandu (palm sugar candy).
- Roasting – This method I have shared here is a instant quick version and tastes equally good.
Homemade Badam Milk Powder is so handy and can be used for a lot of recipes including payasam, desserts, milk based drinks, icecreams, popsicles etc.
Badam Milk Powder Ingredients
- Almonds – Choose fresh almonds that are nutty and crunchy. Make sure to roast them in low flame.
- Cashew, Pistachio – You can add cashews and pistachios for extra flavour.
- Sugar – I have used white sugar but you can replace it with canesugar or brown sugar too.
- Saffron, Cardamom – Saffron and cardamom are excellent flavourings for badam mix.
- Turmeric powder – Adding turmeric powder gives a nice color and aids in digestion.
