Hi all, Iam back with badam Halwa. I got this recipe from my friend Abitha. Its a lovely recipe and adding MTR mix gives a very rich taste. Try it folks!!! and Iam sure u will love it. This is my entry for RCI Tamil festivals:Diwali , started by Lakshmik and hosted by Viji of VCuisine
Ingredients
Almond paste- 2 1/2 cups( If u are using fresh almonds soak overnight , peel the skin and grind to a paste. If using readymade sliced almonds , just grind with little water to form a paste.The paste can be very fine or a bit coarse like rava consistency ,according to ur taste.)
Milk- 2 1/2 cups
MTR badam feast- 1 1/4 cup
sugar- 3 to 4 tbsp or according to ur taste.
ghee- 1/4 cup or acc to ur taste.
Method
Heat ghee in a non stick pan and fry the ground almond paste in a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes.
Mix the MTR powder with milk. Add this and sugar to the almond paste. keep stirring for 20 to 25 minutes till the halwa comes together as a single mass, without sticking to the pan.
This can be refrigerated upto 3 weeks. Have fun making this for diwali.

ReplyDeleteHi Prema,
ReplyDeleteNice to see back...hmmm badam halwa looks awesome..tempting too...surely gonna try..
You know that i tried your carrotkheer,rava dosai...which was a big hit in family....Even my sister now started your version of rava dosai only.
Recently i tried your version of rava idly...wow!!!really very perfect and soft..Thanks alot.
Hi Prema..happened to come here thru my friend, Geetha Rameswaram.. The halwa looks yummy ! Am waiting to try it out soon.
ReplyDeleteThe colour of the sweet is looking so good prema.
ReplyDeleteThe description was great. we tried with success. Thank you very much for your receipe
ReplyDeleteMTR now has Badam Halwa powder in a packet. I would love to know if any one has tried that. Also, if you are using fresh almonds, I found a quick way to peel the skin. Just boil water, then add almonds with skin and turn off the stove within 30-40 secs. Pour out the water. Now you can remove skin from Badam in just a few mins, the skin slides off very easily. I have tried the overnight soaking method and it's takes much longer in my experience.
