  1. First soak badam in hot water for minimum one hour then drain then and take the skin out and keep ready.

  6. When it starts to boil start adding ghee little at the time.
  7. At one stage the contents will start leaving the sides and now you can switch off the stove adding the remaining ghee.
  8. The contents may be little sticky and loose its ok for now as it will tighten when it cools.

Notes

For this badam halwa I usually don’t add any cardamom powder.
The sugar added can be increased according to the sweet level.
If you don’t want this much ghee you can reduce but it will be little dry.
No need to add any yellow colour because the colour from the saffron itself gives good colour.
