This is one of my favorite, hope you guys like it too J


Ingredients :

Almonds - 1/2 cup heaped
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 4 tbsp.
Condensed Milk - 1 tbsp. (optional)
Milk - 1/8 cup + 1/8 cup
Cardamom powder - a pinch(optional)
Saffron - a tiny pinch
Yellow food colour - a tiny pinch ( Optional – Only if you want Soly’s  Eye to pop out )

Increase the ingredients if you want make a big portion.



Method :

1.       Soak almonds for 2 hrs. Then peel off the skin and make it ready.
2.       Then grind the almonds along with 1/8 cup of milk to a fine/semi coarse paste.
3.       Take another 1/8 cup of warm milk crush saffron and add it. Add the yellow food colour and set aside.
4.       In a pan - add sugar with water and let it boil until sugar completely dissolves. Then add the badam paste and stir it continuously to avoid lumps. Once it’s completely blended with the sugar syrup add saffron milk and condensed milk and mix well. If you are adding cardamom powder add it now.
5.       Keep stirring in low flame for 5mins, it will splutter so be careful. Then add a tsp of ghee at regular intervals stirring continuously. At one stage spluttering will stop, ghee will be completely absorbed and the halwa will start leaving the sides of the pan and small white bubbles will start appearing. This is the right stage, to switch off.
6.       Cool down and let it be become a bit thicker.
