Almond/Badam Halwa Recipe

 

Ingredients

Almonds -1/2 cup
Sugar -1/2 cup or 3/4 cup if you want more sweetness
Milk -1/2 cup
Ghee -1/4 cup (you can reduce if you want)
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.

Melt ghee in a pan(It will prevent the halwa sticking at the bottom of the pan). Add the almond paste, remaining milk, sugar and kesari color. Cook on medium flame and stir continuously. Once it starts thickening add the remaining ghee and stir continuously. The ghee will be completely absorbed and the halwa will start leaving the sides of the pan. Now switch off the flame. The yummy badam halwa ready.
