Hi,
Almost 6 months later I am here to share my cooking talent again, now week on
week you can see many dishes to be done here ok,
Today I start the newest year
with a new sweet post Badam halwa a straight forward dessert/sweet. Badam Halwa
is often a regal dessert healthy for Kings! Badam Halwa is often a rich and
delicious Indian dessert geared up with badam and as well one of my personal
favorite halwa. Badam or Almond halwa is among the desserts which may be cooked
in a microwave in the jiffy.
Ingredients:
Ø 3.5 cups whole Badam (almond)
Ø 1.5 cup milk
Ø 5 teaspoon Ghee
Ø 3 cups sugar
Ø 1/2 teaspoon saffron strands (recommended)
Ø 2 drops
of yellow food coloring (optional)
Ø 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
Preparation:
Ø Put the badam in a deep bowl (kadai) and add
enough hot water to them to cover. Leave them to soak for 3-4 hours. Once the badam
have soaked, remove their skins.
Ø Put the badam into a blender and add the milk
to them. Blend the mixture to form a coarse paste (the same consistency as rawai).
Ø Set up a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat.
When it is hot, add 3 teaspoons of ghee to it. When the ghee melts, add
the badam-milk mixture to it. Stir well.
Ø Now add the sugar to it and stir to mix well.
Ø Add the saffron strands and mix well.
Ø Cook the mixture on medium heat, stirring continuously
to prevent it from burning. Easily can be happen, so be extra careful.
Ø At one stage, as the liquid in the mixture
begins to dry up, it will bubble and splash, so be very careful while stirring
the mixture as droplets can burn you badly
Ø Once the splattering stops (a sign that the
Halwa is almost ready), add the remaining ghee and the food coloring and
stir well.
Ø Keep cooking the mixture until most of the
moisture in it dries up.
Ø You will know the Halwa is ready it will no
longer sticks to the pan (kadai) at all.
Ø Take the Halwa off the heat and spoon it onto
a flat plate to cool.
Ø Serve warm or at room temperature in bowls and
Enjoy!
