Instructions

1. 1

   Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.

2. 2

   Start the base: the almonds and milk together in a thick pan, stirring so nothing catches.

3. 3

   Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

4. 4

   Season the mix with the sugar and green cardamom, reserving some nuts for the top.

5. 5

   Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.
