Me and mom had made 2 kgs of this halwa and packed it with us to native. All our relatives gave one common expression.. and it was ummmmmmmmmmmm... :):):):)

Ingredients:

Badam(Almond) - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 cup
Sugar - 2 cups
Milk - 3 cups
Food color- yellow - a pinch
Saffron strands - few

Method:

Soak badam in warm water for 2- 3 hours. Now peal the skin and grind it in mixie into a paste(not so smooth) by adding little milk to it.

Take the ground paste, the remaining milk and sugar in a heavy bottomed vessel or a nonstick pan. Keep stirring it in medium flame till it becomes slight thick. Once it reaches dosa batter consistency, add the food color and ghee and stir for just two mins till it all blends. Now switch off the flame and let it cool. Don't panic if the consistency is lose, it would automatically become thick once it cools down. Top it with saffron strands. :)

Yummy home made badam halwa is ready to eat. :)
