Almond milk is lower in calories and adds a nutty taste.

In a heavy pan over medium heat, add the flour.

Stir constantly until it turns light golden and smells nutty.

Add the ghee and mix well until smooth and glossy.

Lower the heat so it doesn’t burn.

Stir in the date paste.

Cook 2–3 minutes until fully blended and slightly caramelized.

Gradually pour in warm milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

The mixture will thicken fast, keep stirring!

Add cardamom, salt, and sugar.

Cook on low heat until thick, creamy, and smooth.

Once it pulls away from the pan and looks silky, turn off the heat.

Sprinkle sesame seeds or nuts.

Drizzle with a little honey.

Serve warm, usually with tea.
