Cool. Pulse almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Heat milk, 1 cup water, sugar, and cinnamon sticks until hot. Stir in almonds. Transfer to a glass dish and let steep, covered, in refrigerator overnight or up to 2 days. The longer the mixture steeps the more flavors the blancmange will have.br Sieve almond milk through a muslin cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Almond milk should be smooth; if any pieces of almond pass through, strain through a very fine sieve. Discard cinnamon sticks. Pour almond milk into a measuring cup, you should have at least 3 cups and add enough of the remaining 1 cup milk to make 4 cups liquid.br In a saucepan, combine cream and 1 cup almond milk. Sprinkle gelatin over top; let stand until softened. Heat almond-milk mixture over low, stirring occasionally, until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir gelatin mixture into remaining almond milk in measuring cup. br Wet a mold in which you will set the blancmange with ice water but do not dry mold (this will make the blancmange easier to unmold later). Strain almond-milk mixture through a sieve into mold to fill. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until firm, about 6 hours or overnight.br To unmold, quickly dip mold into a bowl of hot water to loosen pudding from mold, or use a hot wet towel that has been wrung out. Place a serving platter over mold and quickly invert. Jiggle to loosen; remove mold. Serve topped with nuts and raisins, if desired.br br Hot Madrasi Curry:br Ingredients:br Chicken 1 kgbr Bay leaves 3br Star anise 2br Cinnamon 1 stickbr Onions (sliced) 3br Tomatoes (chopped) 3br Tamarind water ½ cupbr Lime leaves 2br Chopped coriander ½ cupbr Curry leaves 3 springsbr Salt to tastebr Sesame Oil as requiredbr To grind:br Coconut 1 cupbr Dry red chilies 15 smallbr Garlic 10 clovesbr Ginger 2 inch piecebr Turmeric 1 tspbr Coriander seeds 2 tbspbr Poppy seeds 1 tbspbr Fennel seeds 1 tbspbr Cumin seeds ½ tspbr Green cardamoms 2br Black peppercorns 1 tspbr Method:br Heat sesame oil.
