A simple lollipop recipe from Vineet Bhatia which will add some fun to any dinner party. Make these in advance and keep them in an airtight tin. Buy sugar-coated fennel seeds online or from a good Indian grocery store.
Beat the butter and icing sugar together until pale and creamy, then mix in the egg white a little at a time. Fold in the plain flour and ground almonds
While Vineet Bhatia has borrowed from European traditions to plate up his food, the manner and matter of his dishes are unmistakably those of India, handled with immense sophistication and personal panache.
