Notes
- Do not grind more as the nuts may release oil and turn to a paste.
- You can add 1 and 1/2 cups sugar to get a more fine powder. The more sugar you add you will get the powder more finer. But I always prefer to have less to have the full goodness of nuts.
- Cool down completely before you store.
- You can replace sugar with palm sugar candy or brown sugar or even cane sugar.
- You can even roast saffron but make sure not to burn it.
- You can choose to blanching and roast almonds or just roast it.
