Almond/Badham Halwa

Ingredients:

  • Almond -- 3 cups
  • Sugar -- 3 3/4 cups
  • Cardamom powder -- a pinch
  • Ghee -- 1 1/2 cups
  • Saffron -- a pinch
  • Orange colour powder -- a pinch
  • Salt -- a pinch

 Method:
  • Soak the badham over nite else heat sufficient water to a boil and add the badhams to it. Wait for few minutes.Peel the skin and place in a mixie jar. 
  • Add enough water just enough to cover the almonds and grind finely (It's ur choice  may grind it slightly coarsely as well)
  • Heat a pan with 3 cups of water and dissolve the sugar, salt. Add the ground badham paste and stir continuously so that no lumps formed.
  •  Melt the 1 1/2 cups of ghee and add everything into the badham mixture. Combine well.
  • Now cook over a medium low flame stirring at regular intervals until the mixture starts leaving the sides.
  • Keep on stirring the mixture for the next 7 to 10 minutes,( for this measurement), once it forms a mass without sticking the pan, remove from the heat, though the mixture is still little bit runny and loose.
  • Add the cardamom powder and mix well. Grease the storing container, transfer the hot badham halwa to it and let it cool down to room temperature.
Notes/Suggestions:
  • I've used almost 1 cup of ghee only nevertheless it's yummy and delicious.
  • Though I've already posted one version, this is completely dairy free.
  • This recipe yields a great quantity for a big family. Please be informed about this and use as per ur requirement.
  • I din't have saffron at home,so used artificial colouring and that's obvious from the pic.
Cheers,
Shanavi
