Cooking approach and texture

The technique here centres on boiling. Cook patiently and stir as needed to develop an even texture without catching at the base. Let the natural character of the featured ingredients remain noticeable.

One useful cue from the method is to soak the raisin and almond overnight and drain it. Cut the almond and keep it aside for some time. Continue through the remaining steps in order so the ingredients come together with a more consistent finish.
