Three Tiered Plum Dessert

Method

For Plum Compote:

Chop plums into a pan on a medium high flame with skins on. Add in the sugar and gurr, add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add in cloves.

Once water is almost evaporated, add in another 2 cups and leave to cook further. You should be left with a thick syrup which does not fall off the back of a spoon.


For the Besan Halwa Bicuit:

Mix besan with maida, sugar, butter and grated almonds. The mix should be sticky but should hold together.

Make biscuits and place gently onto a baking tray. Glaze with a little ghee for color and place in the oven at 200 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Remove and let the biscuits cool.


For the Cardamom Pista Cream:

Cook 1 cup milk with sugar and gurr till reduced by half. Add in one egg yolk slowly, making sure it does not harden in the pan.

As soon as the cream is thick remove it from the flame, drop in the saffron and ground cardamom seeds and place in a fridge to cool.

In a bowl, whisk the grated pista and double cream together thoroughly. Place this in the fridge to cool slightly as well.

Then gently mix the two creams together, make sure you don't whisk the reduced cream too much.

Layer the biscuit with some plum compote and serve the cream drizzled around the sides.

Garnish with some grated pistachio and almond.
