Ingredients
- 1 cup Gram flour (besan)
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Almonds, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Cashews, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a non-stick pan over a medium flame. Add the gram flour (besan) to the pan.
Step 2
Stir continuously and roast the gram flour until it turns a golden brown color and gives off a nutty aroma. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
In a separate pan, heat the milk gently and add saffron strands, stirring to dissolve them as the milk heats.
Step 4
Pour the saffron-infused milk gradually into the roasted gram flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Add the stevia or monk fruit sweetener to the mixture and continue to cook on low heat, stirring continuously.
Step 6
Stir in the cardamom powder, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 7
Add the remaining ghee (2 tablespoons) gradually, stirring continuously until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan and comes together as a smooth flow.
Step 8
Grease a plate or a tray with a little ghee and pour the hot besan mixture onto it.
Step 9
Level the surface with a spatula and sprinkle the chopped almonds, cashews, and pistachios evenly over the top of the besan pola.
Step 10
Allow the besan pola to cool completely, then cut it into desired shapes.
Step 11
Serve the sugar-free besan pola and enjoy a guilt-free dessert!
