Description
Easy and quick Badam Halwa with Almond Flour is a delicious treat that will bring joy to your family and friends. It's a classic Indian dessert that has been popular for centuries. The unique flavor of almond flour gives the halwa a delicious nutty flavor, while the addition of clarified butter, milk, sugar and saffron strands add sweetness, richness and fragrant notes that make this dish truly irresistible.
Ingredients
Clarified butter/ ghee- 2/3 cup
Almond flour- 2 cups
Milk- 2 cups
Saffron strands - 2 pinches
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- With the pan on medium heat, add half the quantity of clarified butter.
- Once the ghee/ clarified butter is hot, add the almond flour and roast it in the ghee for a minute or two until the nutty almond flour gives off a fragrant aroma.
- Once the almonds turn aromatic, add the milk and saffron stands to the pan.
- Cook the mixture by stirring it constantly for 9 to 10 minutes in low to medium flame.
- We also add a few strands of saffron along with the milk.
- Once the milk incorporates into the almond flour, we add the sugar and salt and cook for 4 mins.
- Add in the remaining amount of ghee slowly as you are stirring the almond flour halwa. The moisture still looks wet at this point but will eventually solidify after cooling.
- Turn off the stove once all the ghee and sugar is incorporated into the easy and quick badam halwa with almond flour.
Notes
Make sure to not cook the halwa on high heat as the milk may get burnt.
The amount of saffron you want to add is up to you. But keep in mind that more the saffron, the more the intoxicating flavor. My suggestion is to add at least 2 pinches.
