Badam Halwa is a fudgy, nutty pudding of types, made utilizing a easy mixture of floor almonds, ghee, milk and sugar. However this easy combine results in an extremely wealthy, moreish dessert with a definite caramel flavour to it. It is also surprisingly fast to arrange, making it nice as an emergency dessert (we have all been there)!
I completely adore how deep the color of this halwa seems. The important thing to getting it this hue is shared within the suggestions part additional within the publish!
Leap to:
❓ What sort of almonds ought to I be utilizing for this recipe?
On this recipe, you may want to make use of both:
(i) almond flour (often known as almond meal), which is available in bigger supermarkets,
OR
(ii) make this your self at dwelling utilizing skinned almonds, floor in a espresso grinder till it’s utterly easy. They should be skinned – you may both buy them this fashion or take away the pores and skin your self. You are able to do this by soaking the almonds in water for 30+ minutes to melt the pores and skin, then eradicating them by hand. Air dry them earlier than grinding – in the event that they’re moist, you may find yourself grinding it right into a paste, not powder.
🥜 Utilizing completely different nuts as an alternative of almonds
Can you utilize this recipe as a base for different nut halwas? Sure, completely! This recipe is the right template for any type of nutty halwa your coronary heart needs – simply sub out the bottom almonds for any floor nut (and even seed) of your selection, resembling:

Simply ensure that they don’t seem to be salted – a salted halwa is a really area of interest tackle dessert, and I am not fairly positive I can endorse it.
💡 Helpful suggestions + how one can retailer
- The fantastic thing about this halwa is in its wealthy, deep hue of golden brown.

- A suggestion – Badam Halwa goes very well served alongside vanilla ice cream. The ice lotions helps lower by the richness of the halwa.
- Ideally, you need to serve Badam Halwa instantly. This halwa does NOT retailer nice for a very long time – it might probably turn out to be dry and crumbly. To negate this, you would wish to return the halwa to a pan, add some milk and warmth it over a medium-high warmth, till the milk condenses and the halwa loosens up a bit.
