do namaste welcome to bhavna's kitchen today
i'm going to share dessert recipe which anyone can enjoy whether you are having
diabetes whether you are following keto diet and if you are looking for some low carb
dessert as well these are some of the keto friendly ingredients almond meal coconut
granules and coconut flour this is i love to stock these ingredients in my pantry for
healthy desserts and many other recipes as well these days these ingredients are easy to find
at walmart in keto friendly baking section or you can um try your local store where they keep
all these kinds of gluten-free flour as well i'm also going to talk about monk food
sugar which claims to be healthy for diabetic people and claims to be keto friendly
as well today i'm making free butter halwa or we call it sea rock but i'm not zero but no cereal
happens to be one of my favorite and i uh make it often um and so i want i wanted to come up with
some alternatives that i can enjoy guilt free here i have all the ingredients lined up here i
have ghee clarified butter we will need only about a tablespoon of ghee but this allah can be made
without any ghee as well or you can add less ghee one cup of almond milk flour basically ground
blanched almond quarter cup of soji also known as rava or semolina can be used for keto recipe all
you have to do is just omit rava which is a soji that i'm going to use and instead use 2 cups of
almond milk yes you can use up to half cup to do one cup more uh almond milk to replace sooji uh
the reason is that soji uh fluffs up a lot i mean it almost gets double in quantity when it's cooked
with a liquid um while almond milk won't do that much right so um for a quarter cup of soji i would
add one cup of almond milk so entirely leave out um soji and add almond milk or use quarter
cup of coconut granules in this recipe to replace sooji or semolina also milk yes you
have to replace milk with a keto friendly dairy so this recipe can be easily converted into keto
now here in this measuring cup i'm going to take half cup of sugar and any kind of
sugar-free sweetener can be used but my favorite is this monk fruit sweetener
because it doesn't have any aftertaste and it just works like a regular sugar and these days i
have fallen in love with the monk fruit sugar which is basically an alternative to sugar-free
or zero calorie sweeteners there are a lot of choices available these days and i have tried some
of it but i was never happy or satisfied with the taste however with this sugar i am now just to
you know tell you that i'm not getting paid for uh talking about the sugar but i have simply
fallen in love with this sugar and that's why i am you know talking about this sugar and once you try
i you know i'm sure you will definitely fall in love with this uh sugar as well so do try out it's
bit of expensive uh because it is um made out of hmong fruit monk fruit was basically consumed by
monks in the buddhist time and so uh that's the name actually derived from monk sugar among fruit
sugar right so uh it is um zero calorie it has all the details on it which i'm going to show you in
detail but if you do not want to use this kind of a sweetener just go ahead and use regular sugar
even if you are not following any kind of diet the regular graduated sugar works great as
well i have already shared the video if you want to watch different video but today i'm
making this recipe a little bit of a different way so um that's the reason i came up with
this uh recipe again with some you know customizations specifically for diabetic
people and keto people keto diet people so let's get started i'm using classic among fruit
sweetener but there are some other varieties available as well like a brown golden brown sugar
and all that so this is basically hundred percent sugar free and here it says gluten free non-gmo
ideal for cooking and baking and back here it says again gluten-free non-gmo zero calories
zero glycemic index zero net carbs naturally rich in antioxidants because it's made out of monk
fruit and safe for diabetes no aftertaste and it does actually what it says like no
aftertaste i agree with that now i'm not sure if other claims are right but this is what it
is so i'm going to open it and take out half cup in here and as you can see it just looks like
granulated regular sugar it's just a slightly little less sweet than just a slightly
little so do not try to add too much of it just take the same amount as you would use the
granulated sugar this sugar is perfect for any of your dessert actually not just for the recipe that
i'm preparing today trust me you will absolutely love to prepare different desserts using this
sugar here i have one cup of milk for keto uh use other keto friendly dairy like like a heavy
cream with a zero carb or low carb or whatever you use for your um keto recipes here i have all the
optional ingredients when i say optional they do add actually lots of flavors so i encourage to
use if you have some into the seerah i'm going to add cashew and raisins here i have saffron
known as k serve very flavorful and adds an amazing color as well and here i have elaichi
ground elaichi cardamom and some ground nuts like cashew almond pistachio to garnish on top the
reason i do add again more nuts and dry fruits is to add a little bit more texture because
the the halwa or the seerah we are making it is kind of uh like a smooth and uh you
know the smooth texture more likely so when we add all these uh whole nuts or the ground
nuts it adds that texture and makes it easier to eat you're pleasant to eat actually so
now we have all the ingredients ready in this part i'm going to heat up now this one is almost warm in this pot
i'm going to go ahead and warm up milk the recipe is very quick so make
sure you have everything ready so i'm going to first dry roast suji
while the milk is heating up and keep the stove on a medium for the milk
so that it's not boiling already so dry roast rawa or suji also known as for
about until you see little change in color now another tip i would like to share here that
for keto when you are not using raw or suji and just using one cup of uh almond milk and make
sure that you take less amount of milk because of the fat that nuts do not take much even
ghee it cannot absorb much ghee even or how much of uh milk even otherwise the zero will be
like a very sticky okay now i see that it's a little color change in suji so at
this time i'm going to add almond milk powder just a roast lightly milk is about to come
to the boil it's steaming right now so i'm just going to go ahead and higher the temperature
just a little bit so that it's ready for us actually keep it on low i just
want to roast this little bit good and i have kept the temperature for
this actually still on four number four i have on my stovetop basically low to
medium i'm gonna make a well in the center i'm going to add ghee as i said it doesn't take
too much of ghee but we have added rava so i have added about a tablespoon of ghee and now just mix
in now roast couple of minutes more with tea i'm going to turn off the stove for milk because it is
boiling now coming to rolling boil as you can see and keep the lid handy because when we
add milk it may splash so be very careful i am going to go ahead and add milk now as
soon as i add milk i also go ahead and add cashew raisins so these two things i'm going
to add at the same time i mean not at the same time but followed by milk so um i'm going
to be very careful here my lid is handy okay not that bad so continue if you keep uh the
stove on a low to medium you hardly happen to have any sort of accidents um so
always prefer to make desserts on a low to medium desserts like this i'm going to now cook
until all the milk is absorbed as you can see it absorb milk even very quickly and
i totally love the texture already mmm smells good here i wish i can invite you
all here i'm going to keep now on the low the temperature look at this zero it's not
zero yet because we haven't added sugar yet as you can see milk has evaporated so at
this time ready to add sugar oh i forgot this see i kept telling you guys and i forget
stuff i add actually when i add milk so that raisins will flop up and cashews also get little
soft toast to be good now i'm going to add sugar sugar-free sugar okay once you add sugar
now it will turn into syrup little bit right so again i'm going to continue cooking until
it thickens until the syrup thickens again i need to take out the sugar from
the stove otherwise it's going to get caramelized okay all right so i'm going to now
keep stirring so as you can see it uh exactly look like a sujina hollow rawanoshiro and today i'm
going to show you two kinds just from this single zero i'm going to show you two flavors today this
is just like our regular zero i don't think i need to cook much it's already looks amazing i'm going
to take out half of the mixture in to the bowl which i'm going to keep playing um actually just
uh flavor with the cardamom and in the remaining mixture i'm going to add ground saffron which
is kesar and yellow food color if you have a available just a little bit color caser already
uh brings a flavor and color as well but just a little color will give amazing color i'm using
by the way um yellow food color make sure you use quality food color so this is our kesar badamno
zero almond pudding with saffron flavor it desired add a little bit more color to get that vibrant
yellow color i love this color and a taste as well saffron is my favorite all right i'm going to take
out vadam queso into the bowl as well and as you can see pan is nice and clean so if you use heavy
bottomed pan cooking gets easier and it as well and ready to garnish plain zero with the cardamom
elaichi and kesar no shiro with ground nuts my favorite is kesar badam zero so much satisfying delicious i can't differentiate the sweetness when i use regular
sugar and today i used the sugar free the taste actually i personally feel it's better
than even when i used to make with a regular sugar it has that kind of a cooling um kind of
effect that gets in your mouth when you eat um this hala so i highly recommend please try
out this recipe and i am sure you will absolutely fall in love with it i hope you enjoyed watching
this video making of badam no zero sugar free for diabetic people or even great for keto diet
follower as well using monk fruit sugar or as i mentioned earlier you can use regular sugar
or other sugar-free sweeteners now once this halwa or zero cools down you can shape however you
like you can shape square rectangle diamond shape um or you can just uh make ladles actually out of
this zero and you can use cupcake liners to serve so specifically if you are making for the party
uh just to make ahead of time uh you don't have to even make like a day ahead just if you are serving
in the evening you can make in the morning so by the evening it will be ready to form into any
shape you want to and actually if you refrigerate it just you know you can form into any shape just
after an hour or two hours alright friends i am back after about an hour i refrigerated this halwa
and let's see um if we can shape into ladoos so take small amount or the amount that you want to
make the size i want to make small small ladoos all right so you can see how easily i can shape
into ladies if you have a laddu shape or mold like this you can use that too just press
all the mixture inside the mold i'm going to place into the tray look at this beautiful
shape and prepare the remaining balls or ladles let's make one more and then i'm going to
make some out of our regular halwa as well the key is not to press too much now if desired
you can decorate the top with some ground nuts i'm going to put some pistachio on it since
the green looks amazing on orange look at this and now i'm moving on to the regular sera cover
plain zero which has some cardamom flavor in it so just press very lightly not with
pressure and you will get laddu easily amazing and here i have my last one now look at this plate now actually it looks
like a festive treat isn't it my favorite to eat any kind of cereal or halwa is with fruits
and here i have palm macaroni foreign so i hope you enjoyed watching this video making
of badam zero or also known as halwa with a sugar free with monk sugar or as i said earlier any of
