Badam(Almond) Halwa

• Boil 2 cups of water and add badam to it. Let it boil for 5 mins. Allow it to cool.
• Peel off the skin by pressing the badam.
• Grind it by adding milk. Add milk little by little so that u get a good paste. It should neither be too watery nor too hard.
• Soak saffron in 1/2 cup of hot water for 10 minutes. You will get a lovely yellow colour.
• Now mix one cup of sugar to 1/2 cup water.
• Add the saffron water to it.
• Allow the mixture to boil. Keep stirring till you get a single thread consistency.
• Now add the badam paste. Keep stirring so that no lumps are formed.
• Add little ghee from time to time. Continue the process(15 to 20 min approx.) till the mixture thickens.(At a point of time u will find stirring difficult and everything will roll together)
• Remove from fire.
• Grease a plate with ghee. Transfer the mixture to the plate.
• Spread it neatly
• Allow it to cool for 5 mins.
• With a knife make the shapes you wish to get.
• Refrigerate for 5 mins. Just check if ur shapes are proper else repeat it with the knife.
• Again refrigerate for 20 to 30 mins. Now u can remove the pieces off the plate.
