Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Line a 10x8 inch baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.

Melting the Chocolate

  • Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler). Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  • Stir gently and frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Infusing with Spices

  • Remove the bowl from the heat. Stir in the cardamom powder and crushed black pepper. Start with half the quantity of each spice and adjust to taste.
  • Taste and add more cardamom and/or pepper as needed, a little at a time, until you achieve your desired level of spice.

Assembling the Bark

  • Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking tray. Spread it evenly to create a thin layer.
  • Sprinkle the fennel seeds and poppy seeds evenly over the chocolate.
  • Next, sprinkle the crushed rose petals, followed by the almonds and pistachios.

Setting and Serving

  • Allow the chocolate to cool and set completely at room temperature. Once set, you can chill it in the refrigerator for faster setting.
  • Once firm, break the chocolate into irregular shards or slice it into even pieces using a sharp knife.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer Thandai flavor, lightly toast the fennel and poppy seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the chocolate.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, to prevent burning.
  • Experiment with other nuts and seeds such as cashews, macadamia nuts, or sesame seeds to add variety and texture.
  • For a more intense rose flavor, use rose water in addition to or instead of crushed rose petals (add 1/2 teaspoon).
