Even though this was my first time, I was completely satisfied how it turned out. Badam Halwa is well known healthy desert especially for pregnant womens. 

Ingredients

• Badam/Almonds - 2 cups
• Milk – 2 cups
• Sugar – 2 cups
  
• Ghee/Clarified Butter – 2 cups
• few Saffron Strands – optional
• Fresh cardamom powder – ½ tsp

Directions

• Boil Almonds for a few minutes until the skins are wrinkled. Immerse them in cold water. Remove the skins and discard.
• Grind Almonds and milk together into a paste. You can stop just short of making a very fine paste.
• Take a heavy bottomed vessel and heat ½ cup ghee on a low flame.
• When the ghee has melted, add the badam and milk mixture. Stir well and begin cooking. Keep the flame in low through-out the preparation. As the mixture cooks, it will thicken.
• Now add the sugar and one cup of ghee and stir and continue cooking. Be very careful not to burn the bottom, as even a slight browning can spoil the taste of badam halwa.
• when ghee starts to seperate, add saffron, cardamom powder. stir for few minutes and Serve HOT!!
