Blanching Almonds & Pistachios

This is a very simple and a quick process.You don't have to soak almonds overnight.I have given here the most easiest and quickest way of blanching almonds.


Steps

  1. Take water in a pan and add the almonds to be blanched to the water.
  2. Boil the water for about 2 mins.
  3. Remove the pan from flame and strain the almonds from the hot water.
  4. Wash almonds once again with cold water to cool them.
  5. With your index and thumb finger,peel the almond skin and it comes off at ease:)

Note: The same above process is used for blanching pistachios as well.After blanching,pistachios are dark parrot green in color.

  1. This is a very useful tip gayu. I think we can also try this in microwave to heat the badam so that the action will be fast n easy to peal the skin as well just try it next time. Those who don't have oven at home the above tip will be very very useful.
