Badham Halwa - 2

4-1/2 cups Milk - make kova

½ cup Almonds

1 Tbsp Ghee

1-1/4 cup grated Khoya

1 cup Sugar

½ Tsp Cardamom Powder

2 Tbsp Shredded Almonds

Rose Petals

Method:

Soak the almonds in water, remove the skins, and make a paste with a little milk.

Mix almond paste in ghee and keep aside.

Heat ghee in a kadhai and when it starts to thicken a bit add khoya to it.

Stir well and see that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the kadhai.

When the mixture becomes a bit thick add sugar to it and mix well.

Add shredded almonds, cardamom powder and mix well.

Check the sweetness and then garnish well with rose petals, almonds and also sprinkle cardamom powder on it.

Dissolve Besan flour in the remaining water and add to the syrup.

Cook on medium heat and when it starts turning into lumps, add the colour and mix it with a little lemon juice.

Stir continuously, adding a little ghee every time the mixture starts sticking to the bottom of the pan.

When the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms one whole lump, add the crushed cardamoms and finely-sliced almonds and pistachios.

Put the halwa on a greased plate and flatten it out, then decorate it with the remaining almonds and pistachios.

Caramel Walnut Halwa


Ingredients:

2 cups Maida or all purpose flour

3 cups Sugar

1 cup Butter

1cup Walnuts – soak , remove skin, dry and then make them as course powder

3 cups Hot Water

Method:

In a deep pan, melt a tablespoon of butter and add the sugar.

At low heat let the sugar melt and turn into caramel, turning constantly to prevent burning.

When the sugar is all caramelled add the hot water.

At first the sugar will crystalize, but slowly will melt and you will have caramel flavored water.

In a saucepan melt the rest of the butter, add the flour.

Fry the flour until golden brown, add the powdered walnuts and add the hot caramel water.

Cook until all the water is absorbed.

Quickly stir the halwa to make it smooth.

Transfer the halawa into a slightly greased tray.

Let it set then cut in cubes.

 

Re: Easy Badam Burfi

Yes Mals,

Because condensed milk is sweetened milk. So no need to add sugar and we cannot go wrong while preparing this. Very very easy and great sweet. Try it and give me a feed back.

 

Re: Cashew Burfi

Sorry Mals,

I have not noticed this mail. While posting the recipes I saw that and answered. :-D
Dear mals, in this also you can add castor sugar. But in this recipe there is no syrup. Regarding milk you can use any of them. Because you are going to cook the milk with cashew paste. So you can do as per your wish. There is no difference.

ok? All the best. Once again Thank you very much for your words. I am sooooooooooo happy.:spin:hiya:kiss
