Badam Halwa in 7 steps:
Firstly soak Nickmics Almonds in warm water so that the skin is easy to peel off.
Finely ground the soaked almonds then use them for badam halwa, alternatively, you can also make a paste for a different texture. If you are vegan you can also use almond milk & oil instead of ghee or milk.
It is essential to have a texture of the ground almonds similar to semolina / rava. Cook almonds paste in ghee until it imparts nutty aroma & changes colour.
Add whole wheat flour. Keep stirring until the almonds and wheat flour mixture are well roasted. Add water & milk mixture.
Add sugar. Mix well till the halwa is semi-dry. Add saffron and cardamom powder.
The consistency of badam halwa is thick. Avoid overcooking.
