BADAM FRITTERS (ALMOND FRITTERS)

Badam it is said that if consumed daily, increase your memory power.  Whether it is increasing memory power or not, everyone like to eat badam as it is or soaked in water and eat it.

This dish is the invention of my daughter Aishwarya.  One day when I came from Office, she told me, amma, open your mouth, I have prepared something.  Do not scold me as I have fully utilised the badams which you had kept.

After eating the fritters, I just hugged her and said, it is really nice darling.  But I will  tell  you something beta,  while preparing anything in the gas, especially with oil, you must be very careful as she was small enough to handle the gas alone, she said do not worry mummy, I will take care.

Since it is very tasty, but very heavy and will not be able to consume more than two to three at a time, suggest you make it in small quantity for the first time.



Almonds are highly nutritious.  they are of two varities. one is sweet and other bitter.  sweet variety is edible  while the bitter variety is used to make almond oil.  They are high in protein fat, calories, vitamins and minerals.  it also provide good amounts of calcium, phosphorous, niacin, zinc, and magnesium,

Almond milk is an excellent alternate for cow's milk.  It is useful for those who have lactose intolerance.

Almonds are high in monounsturated fats, the same type of health promoting fats as are found in olive oil, which have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease.  It has medicinal value, regulates cholestrol/blood pressure and good for brain and heart.

culinary uses - mostly eaten raw, roasted or toasted, used in dishes, sweets, sprinkled over desserts, halwas etc.
