Halwa is an Indian dessert that is popular in weddings and grand occasions. It is very rich because of the amount of ghee (clarified butter) usually added to it. Today I am sharing a recipe that has absolutely no fat added to it, the dish is prepared from the natural oil from almonds.
Ingredients:
Almonds
Saffron (for yellow color)
Sugar
Recipe:
Soak the almonds in warm water for about an hour. Peel the skin and blend them to a smooth paste.
Add the paste to a pan, add the sugar and saffron and stir until the mixture turns into a lump.
You will find it releasing natural oils and continue stirring until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and rolls into a ball.
Remove it from heat and cool it. Enjoy!
Tip: For 1 cup almonds, try about 1/4th cup of sugar and increase it upto 1/2 cup depending on the sweetness you require.
