Almond or Badam Halwa is a popular Dessert in Indian Subcontinent. It's a perfect choice for many occasions and is available in every sweetmeat shop across the Country.
Though it's a popular sweet and made in Sweetmeat shops, this can very well be made at home sweet home. With some must have ingredients, it can be made at home as well. It's a breeze. I must add this.
Almonds are a powerhouse of nutrients and contains a lot of healthy Fats, Fibre, Protein and Vitamin E along with an important Mineral like Magnesium.

Steps

35-40 minutes

1

Soak the almonds in clean drinking water for a good four hours atleast. Peel and grind to a smooth paste later using water. Meanwhile soak saffron strands in a cup of milk.
2

Next heat a tablespoon of ghee on a low flame. Add this paste to it. Cook until the raw smell nearly fades away. The paste that's cooking splashes a lot, so be careful about that. Do it on a low flame as it takes a bit more of your time. Keep stirting at regular intervals. Also add in the milk with saffron strands.
3

Continue cooking on a low heat only. Keep stirring all the while. Take care while doing so as it splashes a lot. After about 20 minutes, add sugar and little dry food colour. Do not hurry about the whole process. It takes some time. Add more ghee as it starts reducing and coming up together like a mass.
4

After it starts to leave the sides of the pan, it means that it's done to perfection. Sugar can be adjusted accordingly. Dish it out warm to be served to your family and loved ones. Yum! Any halwa remaining can be refrigerated and enjoyed for a week.
5

Serve it warm or cold. It's absolutely yummy. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
