Yellow food colora pinch(optional)
Ghee/nei3-4tbs



Method

  • Soak the almond in water for 2 hours and peel the skin.put the peeled almonds in a blender and grind along with milk to a bit coarse paste(fine rava consistency).Soak the saffron threads in a tbs of milk and set it aside.
  • Heat a pan with 2bs of ghee and add the almond paste,then add the sugar and mix it well.cook it in a medium flame for 5 minutes,now add the saffron mixture and stir it well.

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.
