Ingredients

• 2 cups Coconut milk
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 5 strands Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Almonds, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Ghee
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the honey, cardamom powder, and saffron strands. Stir until the honey is dissolved and set aside to infuse.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.

Step 3

Add water and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix to form a smooth dough. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb some moisture.

Step 4

With your hands, roll the dough into small, smooth balls, about one inch in diameter.

Step 5

Heat ghee in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Once heated, place the balls in the skillet, gently pressing them down to about 0.5-inch thickness. Cook each side for about 2 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

Reheat the coconut milk mixture and add the cooked patties. Simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing them to absorb the milk flavors.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped pistachios and sliced almonds before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Rasmalai warm or chilled.
