Ghee, milk, sugar and khus khus (poppy seeds) are good for the body in winter. The body craves and digests sweets easily in cold weather.

Ingredients:
250 gms poppy seeds
2 litres milk
Ghee
250 gms sugar
Elaichi powder (10-12 elaichis)
20 boiled and peeled almonds

Method:
Wash the poppy seeds and clean them with a dry cloth.
Grind them. Take a heavy bottom vessel, add ghee, ground poppy seeds and stir the mixture well. Pour milk once the mixture turns into a light pink colour and starts to emit a sweet fragrance. Boil mixture on high flame. Stir constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the vessel. Now, let the mixture heat on a slow flame so that the milk is absorbed. Add sugar and keep stirring. Add elaichi powder when it turns thick, add the almonds. Garnish with chopped almonds and serve hot.
