Only the main ingredient is different. The key ingredient of halwa can range anywhere from flours( wheat flour, chickpea flour) to vegetables (pumpkin, carrots, bottle gourd), and fruits (apple, pineapple).
Soak the almonds Grind the almonds Saute and roast the almond paste to create a yummy halwa.
- Begin by soaking the almonds first. Best would be to soak them overnight but if you are short on time, soak them in warm water for 2-3 hours, and that will work just fine.
- Almond skin is excellent for health, but for this recipe, I have removed the skin of the almonds and discarded it. Removing skin is optional, feel free to keep them on and grind almonds to a fine and smooth paste.
- Cook until all the moisture dries up – add mawa, sugar, and saffron mixed with milk. Saffron will add an aromatic flavor and vibrant golden color to this halwa.
- Keep stirring to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Soon the mixture will become thick, and a smooth and silky badam halwa is ready. Garnish with nuts and enjoy!! A fair warning though, this dessert will have your guests coming back for seconds (maybe thirds).
