Badam Halwa

Hope everybody had a colourful and sweetilicous Diwali (I know it's too late for this question).... Anyways this year for Diwali I made Badam Halwa with almonds I got last year for Diwali. Simple recipe and easy to make...the whole process takes just an hour or so.....


Ingredients:
Recipe Source: Jeyashri's Kitchen

Badam/Almonds - 1/2 cup, heaped
Sugar - 1/2 cup, heaped
Ghee - 1/4 cup
Milk - 1/4 cup
Yellow food colour - a pinch
Cardamom powder - a pinch


Method:
  • Soak almonds in hot water for an hour.
  • Take out the skin and grind it into a smooth paste by adding milk to this.
  • In a heavy bottomed non-stick vessel add the sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Boil till the sugar dissolves and when it is completely dissolved lower the flame and add the ground almond paste.
  • Mix this without any lumps. Add the food colour and cardamom powder.
  • Stir continuously and slowly add ghee to this. Adding the right amount of ghee will give a nice texture to the halwa. So add as per the quantity mentioned.
  • When white colour bubbles appear on the sides of the pan switch off the flame and transfer to a greased plate or bowl.
  • The entire process will take 3-4 mins. Keep the flame on medium low.
  • Once it cools down it will be thickened. So wait for a while to get the perfect texture.
  • You store this in fridge for 4-5 days. Just warm up in the microwave oven before eating to get the perfect taste of the badam halwa.

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer ...
