When you think of halwa, you think of a good amount of time spent at the stove, stirring and stirring till the halwa thickens. But today's quick badam halwa recipe doesn't belong to that category - it's super fast! This is one of my grandmother's old recipes and is perfect for the rainy season. Generally, badam halwa takes at least half an hour as you need to roast the badam for a while, but today, we'll make badam halwa in just 10 minutes!
Ingredients:
- Almonds, powdered - 1 bowl
- Whole wheat flour - ½ bowl
- Ghee - ½ bowl + 1 tablespoon
- Sugar - 2/3rd bowl
- Water - 3 bowl
Method:
1. Fry the flour and almond powder in ghee till it turns dark brown. In the meantime, put the water to boil.
2. Once the flour-almond mix turns dark brown, add the boiling water and stir constantly. Follow with sugar and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat once the halwa is smooth and thick.
That's it! As promised, the halwa requires just two steps and you're done! I seriously can't think of an easier or faster dessert to make for your family or for unexpected guests. You can garnish it with some almonds and raisins, but I don't since my daughter doesn't like it. For some extra flavor, you can also sprinkle some powdered cardamom on top - the customization options are endless!
