Keşkul-ü fukara, also known as Fukara Keşkülü, is a milky dessert originating from the Ottoman Cuisine. With its full taste and lightness, it is one of the most suitable desserts for the month of Ramadan. There are many written and drawn things about where the name of the dessert came from, but I will not go into this subject because I have not read it from a solid source yet.
While preparing this dessert, the ancients used ink pad made of rice instead of rice flour. Now that we have an easy thing like rice flour, we don't have to tire ourselves much.
Instead of buying almond flour, I decided to use my almonds at home. I boiled the almonds and strained them, removed their shells and crushed them in a mortar. It was quite pleasant as the almonds did not lose their aroma.
I recommend you to try it before Ramadan ends.
Love…

I put all but the coconut, it was beyond disaster. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the recipe, I used half a glass of sugar first, it was more appealing to me, thanks a lot.
Should we use salted almonds that we eat as nuts or are we sold separately for desserts? I would be very grateful if you could enlighten me on this issue…thanks in advance
Hello, we will add the melted rice flour and 1.5 tablespoons of starch to the remaining milk afterwards, right? It's not even in the recipe.
Hello, in the recipe, we already open 1 glass of milk, rice flour and starch in a saucepan. Then add the remaining milk and cook. In other words, we do not mix it in a separate place and then add it to the milk.
Ah, I guess I misunderstood. Thank you so much. :)
I found the recipe now. I will try it tomorrow. If I add 1 teaspoon or 2 teaspoons of coffee as an impromptu, do you think it will give a nice taste?
I can't wait to try your health.
which is starch
You can use whatever you have at home.
Thanks for the recipe. On top of that, Carte d'Or's walnut ice cream goes very well.
