BADHAM HALWA

PREP TIME : 10 mins
COOKING TIME : 20 mins
Serves: 2-3

INGREDIENTS :

• Almonds-Badam - 1/2 cup
• Sugar -1/2 cup or 3/4 cup if you want more sweetness
• Milk -1/2 cup
• Ghee -1/4 cup
• Kesari color - a pinch for color (optional)

PREPARATION

• Soak almonds overnight and peel the skin. Alternatively you can boil them in hot water for a few minutes and peel the skin.
• Grind almonds with 1/4 cup of milk to a smooth paste.
• Method
• Melt ghee in a kadai and keep it aside. In the same kadai (as it is coated with ghee, it will prevent the halwa from sticking to the bottom of the pan) bring 1/4 cup of water to boil, switch off the flame, add sugar and let the sugar dissolve completely.
• Now add the badHam paste, remaining milk, kesari color and cook on medium flame stirring continuously.
• Once it starts thickening and the sides start getting a little dry and flaky, add all the ghee except 2 tsp and cook stirring continuously on low flame.
• The ghee will be completely absorbed and the halwa will start leaving the sides of the pan. Now switch off the flame, add the remaining 2 tsp of ghee and stir for about 3-4 minutes.(this makes the halwa softer when it sets)
• Once it cools the halwa will thicken. The badHam halwa turned out very soft and yummy and we all loved it very much.
