1.
Grind together all the thandai masala ingredients in the jar or a mixer to a fine powder.
2.
Add a little water and turn it into a smooth paste.
For the Base:
1.
Preheat the oven to 170C degrees.
2.
Grease a 4 inch ring and cover the bottom of the ring with silver foil, ensuring that it comes up to the sides too.
3.
In a bowl, mix the almond flour, melted butter and erythritol and mix until it looks like breadcrumbs.
4.
Press the mix down into the ring and place it in the oven to bake at 170C for about 8-10 mins.

Once it is golden brown and smells baked, let it cool down completely.
For the Filling:
1.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a microwave-safe bowl.
