Enjoy.................................................


  • Adding food color is purely optional but it gives a nice look to the halwa.
  • After it reaches the consistency remove it from the heat.
  • When it is warm it may be slightly watery but after cooling the halwa will be in the correct consistency.
  • Do not grind the almonds to a very fine paste.
  • While cooking the mixture splutters so be careful and once it is nearing to the consistency the spluttering reduces,its a sign.
  • If you feel the mixture is sticky the add some ghee.
  • You can wrap single serving of halwa in a butter paper and keep it
  • Soak the almonds in hot water if you want it get it done right away.
