Today's Rave - Twisted recipes (Badam Halwa)

This recipe credit goes to my brother, i have twisted it of course adding my own spin to a classic. 

Ingredients

1 cup Badam/ Almonds soaked overnight

1/2 cup milk

4 tbsp Ghee

4 tbsp Agave or 1/2 cup Sugar

1 tsp Cardamom powder

4 to 5 strands of Saffron soaked in 2tbsp warm milk

Method

Soak the almonds overnight and remove the skin. This takes most of the time. I think i am going to try with almond meal next time, i think it can save a lot of time. Coarsely grind the almonds to a paste using the milk. Heat up a non stick pan, start out with a tablespoon of ghee and fry the almond paste in the ghee. Continuosly stir this ensuring nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan adding ghee periodically. After about 10 minutes, i added Agave (instead of sugar) and continued stirring until the whole almond paste came together. At this point added the cardamom powder, saffron milk mixture and stirred until the almond halwa came together with a nice yellow hue.
