Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Almonds chopped
  • 2 tbsp Cashew chopped
  • 2 tbsp Dry dates chopped
  • 1/2 cup coconut grated
  • 1 tbsp desi ghee
  • 1/8 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Add desi ghee in a pan and place it on low flame.
  • When ghee melts, add almonds, cashews and dry dates and roast them on low flame for a minute. You really don't need to make them brown.
  • Add turmeric powder and mix.
  • Now add grated coconut & roast it too for a minute. This too is not required to turn brown.
  • Add milk and sugar and let the sugar melt on medium to high flame.
  • When milk begins to boil, lower the flame and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Keep stirring and scraping the sides of pan at short intervals.
  • After 5 minutes, your madra is ready.
  • Enjoy it warm

Notes

  1. You can use the dry fruits of your own choice and availability and in the ratio suitable to your need. However i remained stick to what i have seen my mother-in-law doing. She used to add only almonds, cashews, dry dates and coconut.
  2. If you don't want to add turmeric, soak a pinch of saffron in warm milk for couple of minutes and then add to the madra. However, if you like, you can totally avoid giving a colour to the dessert.
