During my childhood we enjoyed Anand Sweets Badam halwa which was drenched in ghee. We never tried the halwa thinking of the ghee that sticks to the hand after eating. But thought of reducing the quantity of ghee and this is my recipe for yummy and creamy badam halwa.
INGREDIENTS
½ cup almonds / badam
hot water to soak
¼ cup milk
1½ tbsp ghee
¼ cup sugar(adjust sweetness according to your taste)
2 tbsp saffron soaked in hot water
¼ tsp cardamom powder / elaichi powder
Firstly, soak ½ cup almonds in hot water for 30 minutes.
Next, peel the skin of badam and transfer to the blender/mixer grinder.
Now add in ¼ cup milk.
Blend to smooth paste.
Transfer the badam paste into the large deep bottom kadai.
Add in a tbsp of ghee and stir for a minute on low to medium flame, to this add in ¼ cup sugar and stir continuously till the sugar dissolve completely.
Now add 2 tbsp saffron water and stir well.
Keep stirring till the mixture thickens.
Now add remaining half tbsp of ghee and stir.
Stir till the mixture separates the pan and ghee releases out from sides.
Now add in ¼ tsp cardamom powder and mix well.
Finally, serve badam halwa hot or chilled.
Aps Notes:
You can use almond milk or water if you are vegan.
This is tried recipe by my friend and she used 2.5 tbsp ghee I have reduced it to 1.5 tbsp if you love ghee on top feel free to use 2.5 tbsp
Happy Cooking,
