Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond/Badam
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 pinch Saffron soaked in 1/4 cup hot milk
• 1/4 tsp Cardamom/Elaichi Powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/3 cup Ghee
• 1 pinch Turmeric powder

Servings: cups

Instructions

1. Soak almond in hot water for 30 mins. Peel the skin and set it aside. Grind peeled almond along with milk to smooth paste.
2. Heat a kadai, add 2 tsp of ghee, ground almond paste, and saute for a min. Add sugar and cook on a medium flame for 5 mins.
3. As the sugar is added, the mix starts to become watery. Cook for another 8-10 mins until the mix thickens.
4. Now add saffron milk, salt, cardamom powder, turmeric powder and cook for another 5 mins. Then, gradually add a tbsp of ghee to the mixture at equal intervals. Reserve 2 tsp of ghee atlast.
5. Once all the ghee is absorbed, switch off the flame. Then, add the remaining 2 tsp of ghee and mix well. This gives a glossy texture to the halwa.
6. Initially, the halwa will be in pouring consistency. Let it cool completely. Once it is cooled, halwa slightly thickens. Delicious badam halwa is ready.

Recipe Notes

• Instead of almond, you can use almond powder too.
• While grinding almonds, grind it to a coarse paste. Do not make it to a fine paste.
• Adding a generous amount of ghee gives a nice consistency to the halwa.
• Instead of turmeric powder, you can add a pinch of food color too.
• Always add a pinch of salt while cooking the sweets. Salt enhances the taste of the sweet.
