Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Afghanistan is not that far from India. One of my Indian friends make something very similar and it is just wonderful. Lovely and soothing after a meal. BL Almond Pudding (Firnee) 3 cups (750 ml) coconut milk 1/3 cup (80 ml) sugar 1/2 cup (125 ml) cornstarch (cornflour) 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water 1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped blanched almonds 1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground cardamom 1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground saffron (optional, may substitute turmeric) 1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped pistachio nuts Combine 2 1/2 cups (625 ml) of the coconut milk and the sugar in a saucepan over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Mix the remaining coconut milk, cornstarch and water together and stir into the warm milk. Add the almonds and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat, add the cardamom and optional saffron, and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour into 6 to 8 individual serving bowls and garnish with chopped pistachios. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Serves 6 to 8.
