Almonds / Badam Halwa


Ingredients:

Almonds - 1 cup (100 gms)
Milk - 1/4 cup
Sugar – ½ cup (adjust it accordingly to your taste)
Dry Grapes – few (to garnish)
Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
Lemon Yellow Food Color – 3 pinches (dilute in 1 tbsp of water)
Ghee – 4 tbsp



Cooking Instructions:

For 1 cup of almonds, take 2 ½ cups of hot water. Soak the almonds in that hot water for about 4 hours. Drain the excess water and peel off the skin of almond / badam seeds. Grind the almonds with milk to a smooth paste.

Boil 1 cup of water and add sugar to it. When the sugar syrup starts to boil, add almond-milk paste to it. Add lemon yellow color and cardamom powder also to it at this time. Keep stirring it continuously otherwise it will stick to the pan. Add ghee little by little at regular intervals to avoid sticking at the bottom of the pan.




You have to keep cooking until the sweet leaves the sides of the pan and roll into like a ball or to the jam consistency. Switch off the flame at this stage and let the mixture to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. It will be get thicken a little now. Roll it into your desired shapes and garnish it as you desire. I used dry grapes to garnish the balls.

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts. And thank you all again who showered my son with their blessings. Feeling very happy again today in Announcing the event for the month of September and the theme is "Chicken" , which is all time favorite for everyone of us. So, come out with all your chicken recipes and am awaiting eagerly for your spicy entries. Last month during Ice Creams and Milkshakes Event, i
