Mango Badam Halwa

MANGO BADAM HALWA

 

This recipe is  kid friendly and kids will carve for it if they r sweet lover.  My daughter who is not a sweet lover but still she liked this because of the heavenly taste . Badam are really good for kids as it contains very high Omega-3, should be included in your child’s diet if u want to raise a smarter kidoo 🙂  .. my mother used to tell me badam had with kali mirch (whole black pepper ) is so very good for our brain’s. I love to include fruits in my sweets and experiment different flavors, this makes the dish unique .

Ingredients

Badam- 1/2 cup heaped
Mango puree- 1/4 cup (thick puree)
Sugar- 1/2 cup heaped
Ghee (clarified butter)- 1/4 cup
Saffron strands – 1 pinch
Elachi powder – 1/2 tsp
Milk- 1/4 cup

Method

• Soak the badam over night or 3-4 hours . peel the skin off n grind the badam with milk to a very smooth paste .
• Heat a nonstick pan or a heavy bottomed pan add sugar and 1/4 cup water to the pan .After the sugar gets dissolved completely simmer the heat and add the ground paste to the syrup and mix it continuously to avoid lumps .
• Add  mango puree ,saffron soaked in warm milk , elachi. keep on stirring for 4 – 5 mins.
• Add ghee in regular intervals 1 tsp at a time and stir it well till it leaves the sides of the pan and is no more sticky in consistency .
• Transfer it to a greased plate or a bowl . serve warm .

 

 

 

• After your halwa cools down it gets thickened a little bit cool the mixture a bit and then have it  .If u feel that your halwa is still sticky then you can stir them again  in the pan and add some more ghee to it for getting the right consistency.
• Halwa’s  consistency will be better if you cook them in medium heat throughout.
