badaam halwa

Mummy Ka Magic...

Here is that one recipe, that i haven't made myself, but I absolutely had to share it.

Almond Halwa is my mom's speciality, every winter she makes this batch of yummy melt in your mouth barfis, that are too die for.Its healthy, Its yummy and it's filled with all the love that a mom has to offer.

The funny part is I know the recipe, I've seen her make it lots of times, I've actually helped her make it many times, but still when it comes to badam halwa, I always ask her to make it instead of making it myself,Can't really explain it..buts thats the way it is with these little sweet diamonds...

Ingredients:
250g Almonds, peeled
200g sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup ghee
1 lt Milk
100g edible gum, optional

Method:
soak almonds overnight and peel. Grind almonds along with milk and make a smooth paste. Add water to sugar and cook to make sugar syrup. once the syrup is ready add ghee and the almond paste. Cook on low heat till it is quite thick and ghee starts coming on the surface ( about 1 to 1 1/2 hours).
Fry the edible gum in 1 tbsp of ghee seperately, crush and add to the halwa when it is almost dry.
Remove from heat and spread on a tray and flatten it.refrigerate to make it firm. Cut into small diamond shaped pieces.
