Sweet New Year for all those sweet tooth.....

I know its way too late for the new year wishes. Well, Just wanted to start my new year posting to be a sweet one. And here it goes, Recipe for making Badam Halwa

Ingredients:

> 1 cup whole almonds
> 1.5 cups of sugar.
> Some milk (probably couple of tbl spns)
> Ghee
> .5 - 1 cup of water

Method:

1. Boil 2 cups of water and soak the almonds for 1 hour. Alternatively, you can heat the almonds and water till the water comes to a boil and then let it cool.
2. Peel the skin off the almonds. They should just slip right out the skins when you press on them with your fingers.
3. Finely grind the almonds added very little milk . You can add a little bit more, if the blender blades absolutely refuse to move.
4. Met the sugar with the 1/2 cup of water in a bowl, till it comes to a rolling boil.
5. Add the ground almond paste and stir well to avoid any lumps.
6. Keep stirring this mixture so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
7. Add a few tsps of the ghee at regular intervals. The ghee will immediately get incorporated in the mixture.
8. Keep stirring and cooking till the mixture gets slightly thick.
9. Switch of the heat and let the halva cool. The halva will solidify by itself


Simple to make for all those bachelor people :-)
