  1. Hi.
    Can d badam paste be made n stored for few days? If yes then how n for how many days.5 stars

    1. preeti, paste will stay good only for about 4 to 5 days. you can make badam powder in bulk and freeze it. it will stay good for at least a month. blanch almonds in hot water overnight. when you have enough time, then peel the almonds. let them dry a bit. you can spread them on a plate for 10 to 15 minutes. then grind to a fine powder. do not over do the grinding as then oil will release from them. you can also use the pulse option and grind in parts. then remove and store in an air tight box. refrigerate or freeze. in the freezer the badam powder will stay for a long time. then just heat it with milk & sugar and serve. when grinding you can even add some cardamom seeds and saffron.

  2. Hi dassana,
    If I soak the almonds overnight and then use hot water technique to get peels off, will it work? Actually I wanted to use cooling almonds but soaked almonds have to be peeled individuality which takes more time
    Or can we soak them overnight after removing peels first?
    I hope I didn’t make it confusing..

    1. ruchi, you soak almonds directly in hot water overnight and then in the morning the peels come off easily. since they are soaked overnight, thus the badam will be cooling. if badam is soaked in water which is at room temperature overnight, it does not peel of easily. but when soaked in hot water the peels come of easily. then you just need to press the peel and it slides and you can remove it easily. hope this helps.
