Maple syrup is a natural sweetener with a unique flavor.

Add 1.5 cups of milk, dates, and nut mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.

Set the blended mixture aside.

In a pan, add 1 tablespoon of ghee and heat it over low flame.

Add 2 tablespoons of gram flour to the ghee and roast it on low heat.

After a while, add turmeric powder and black pepper to the roasted gram flour and continue roasting for 2-3 minutes until aromatic and golden.

Gradually add the milk mixture to the roasted gram flour, ensuring the milk is at room temperature or slightly warm.

Whisk continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Once all the milk is added and there are no lumps, increase the heat to medium or slightly high and let it simmer gently.

After it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes to thicken the mixture slightly.

Add the blended mixture to the pan and combine well without boiling it further.

If using, add cardamom extract at this stage.

Turn off the heat and transfer the milk into a cup.

Garnish with roasted chopped almonds if desired.
