Prepare Almond Paste: Combine the soaked and peeled almonds with 1/4 cup of milk. Blend them into a smooth paste. This almond paste is the key to achieving the creamy texture of your halwa.
Cook Almond Mixture: Heat ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the almond and milk paste to the pan. Cook over a low flame, stirring frequently, until the mixture turns light pink. This step is crucial for developing the rich flavor of the halwa.
Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the remaining milk and 1/4 cup of water. Allow the mixture to simmer over a low flame for 2-3 minutes. This helps to integrate the flavors and achieve the desired consistency.
Sweeten and Flavor: Add the sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron mixture to the pan. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves and the halwa thickens to your preference.
Serve and Garnish: Serve the Badam Ka Halwa hot, garnished with additional almonds if desired. This delicious dessert is perfect for special occasions or as a sweet treat any time.
