Lichur Payesh
Lichur Payesh. A sublime symphony of litchis and milk. Just a whiff of green cardamom. Bliss !!
Ingredients
- 2 lit milk
- 20-25 litchis peeled and de-seeded
- 1/4 tsp green cardamom powder
- sugar to taste
Instructions
- Pound half of the litchis gently with a light pestle. Finely chop the remaining ones.
- Set the milk to boil in a thick bottomed pan, add the green cardamom powder and let the milk simmer lazily over a low flame till it has reduced to almost one third of its volume.
- Switch off the flame . Let the milk cook down, some 5-7 mins I would say.
- Add the litchis. Give it all a loving stir.
- Add sugar to taste. (The litchis I used were very sweet and just a tablespoon of sugar was enough for me)
- Another hearty stir and we are done. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
- Serve chilled .
