INGREDIENTS

Almonds : 100 gms (soaked in water and skin removed)
Sweet Bread : 4 to 5 slices (made into crumbs by running in the mixer)
Sugar : 100 gms (powdered sugar)
Milk powder : 1 tbsp

Milk : 1 tbsp
Almond essence : a few drops
Yellow colour : a few drops.(optional)

A few Raisins or a few almonds (finely chopped) : for decoration

METHOD

	After the skin has been removed, dry the almonds a little , so that it can be powdered in a mixie.
	Put all the ingredients except the essence and the raisins kept for decoration in a nonstick saucepan and keep it on a reasonably high flame, stirring all the time. Within 5 minutes, they will form a soft ball, leaving the sides of the pan.
	Take it off the flame and keep stirring till it cools a bit. Add the essence You can either spread it on a greased thali and cut it into squares after it cools, or take small balls of the mixture and press it into small tart cups, to give them shape. The tart cups should be greased too. The sweets can be taken out of the tart cups by turning the cups on a plate and tapping on them.
	Decorate by pressing a raisin or pieces of chopped almonds on each sweet.
