Badam Halwa with Jaggery
Badam Halwa made with store bought almond flour and jaggery. Rich and decadent Indian dessert perfect for festive season.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour ( I used Kirkland brand from Costco)
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon powdered jaggery
- 4 tablespoons ghee
- 3 cardamom pods, crushed
- few pistachio for garnish
Instructions
- Heat two tablespoon of ghee in a pan. Once the ghee melts, reduce the heat to low and add one cup almond flour. Saute the almond flour for 4-5 minutes in medium to low flame, mixing continuously.
- Add 1 cup whole milk and ½ cup + 1 tablespoon powdered jaggery. Cook stirring continuously for 12-15 minutes.
- As the halwa starts to come together add 2 tablespoons of ghee and cook for couple more minutes.
- When the halwa doesn't stick to the pan and when you fold, it stays together that will be the right consistency. Now add crushed cardamom and mix and turn off the stove.
- Garnish with chopped pistachio and serve badam halwa warm.
Notes
Jaggery can be replaced with ½ cup sugar.
Do not reduce the amount of ghee, as it gives flavor and texture to the halwa.
Eat the halwa warm for best taste.
If serving later, reheat the halwa in the microwave for a 1-2 minutes. This halwa in particular tastes best when eaten hot.
