Paadam halva

 

Ingredients:

Almonds 250 Gms
Milk 2 cups
Sugar 500 Gms
Ghee 1 cup
Cardamom powder 1 teaspoon
Kesari powder 2-3 pinches else powdered saffron would do.

Method:

Soak almond seeds in hot water, remove skin and grind into a paste.

In a pan on low heat add milk and sugar and stir until all the sugar has dissolved.

Add the almond paste to this sugar syrup and stir.

As you stir, add kesari powder and cardamon powder and keep stirring.

When this starts to roll in into a ball remove from fire.

Apply ghee or butter onto a flat plate or tray and pour this mixture and spread evenly.

Cut into small pieces to any shape you like.
