Badam(Almond) Halwa


I made some 'Badam halwa' for our second marriage anniversary.
I tired this recipe for the first time and turned out pretty well.

Ingredients
1 cup Badam
1 cup Sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup ghee
Little saffron

Method
  1. Soak the badam in hot water and peel the skin out.
  2. Grind the badam with 1/2 cup of milk into a smooth paste.
  3. In a non-stick pan add the 1 cup of sugar and little water and allow to dissolve.
  4. Allow the sugar to dissolve well and once a string consistency comes add the badam paste.
  5. Add the remaining milk in saffron and add it to the mixture and keep stirring.
  6. Once the mixture is mixed well, slowly add ghee little by little.
  7. Keep the gas in low flame throughout the preparation.
  8. Keep stirring till the halwa consistency comes(15-20 min).
  9. Once the mixture leaves the pan and starts getting thicker, remove from the gas and pour the mixture in a greased plate.
  10. This halwa becomes thicker as it becomes cold.
Note: Sliced badam can also be used and need not be soaked. It can directly be grounded with milk.

This recipe goes to Srivalli's Mithai Mela:
