Badam Halwa is a rich and classic Indian dessert prepared with almonds, sugar and ghee. It can be prepared for any occasions or festivals like Diwali, holi, Navratri etc.
- 1/2 cup Almonds (Badam)
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Ghee (in Chitti’s recipe, it was 1/2 cup ghee)
- 4 strands Saffron (soak it in a tbsp of milk)
- 1 pinch Kesari color (optional)
- 2 tsp Ghee (for adding in the end)
-
Soak almonds overnight and peel the skin. Alternatively you can boil them in hot water for a few minutes and peel the skin.
-
Grind almonds with 1/4 cup of milk to a smooth paste.
-
Melt ghee in a kadai and keep the ghee aside. In the same kadai (as it is coated with ghee, it will prevent the halwa from sticking to the bottom of the pan) bring 1/4 cup of water to boil, switch off the flame, add sugar and let the sugar dissolve completely.
-
Now add the badam paste, remaining milk, kesari color, saffron and cook on medium flame stirring continuously.
-
Once it starts thickening and the sides start getting a little dry and flaky, add all the ghee except 2 tsp and cook stirring continuously on low flame.
-
The ghee will be completely absorbed and the halwa will start leaving the sides of the pan.
-
Now switch off the flame, add the remaining 2 tsp of ghee and stir for about 3-4 minutes.(this makes the halwa softer when it sets)
-
Soft and silky badam halwa is ready to be served.
