Badam Halwa

Ingredients
Almonds - 1 cup (around 80 almonds)
Milk - 3 tblsp
Ghee - 3 tblsp
Sugar - 1 cup (or as needed)
Saffron - a pinch
Kesari Powder/ Yellow food colour - a pinch
Method
1. Soak the almonds in hot water for 2 hours and peel the skin off the almonds. To make it
faster, boil the almonds with the water for 15-20 minutes and peel them or use store bought
peeled almonds.
2. Grind the almonds in a blender or mixie along with the milk to make a paste. Add very little
milk just to help the mixie moving.
3. Heat the sugar with 1/4 cup of water and bring it to a boil to make a simple syrup.
4. Add the milk-almond paste and keep stirring constantly to prevent it from getting burnt at the
bottom.
5. Add saffron strands and food colour while mixing it.
6. Keep adding ghee little by little (1 tsp at a time) and keep stirring.
Note :- It is best to use a non stick pan to prevent sticking at the bottom.
7. When the mixture cooks, there can be lot of hot splatterings.
8. When the splattering reduces, it is an indication that the mixture is almost cooked.
9. Continue mixing until the halwa no longer sticks to the pan and ghee starts seperating out.
(The perfect Halwa consistency!!!)
10. Garnish with fresh nuts and serve as such or top it with ice cream.
(Another option is to spread the halwa in a flat tray when it is still hot. Refrigerate it for a while
till it hardens a bit. Then cut in into square shapes and serve as badam cake/ badam katli.)
