A super tasty almond halwa. I enjoy trying something new with the existing tried and tested recipe. Here is another such experiment!! Microwave baking is recommended for final stage for the crispy crunchy, golden finish.
Ingredients
Almonds - 2 cups (soaked and peeled)
Coconut grated - 1 cup
MTR badam powder mix 1 pkt
Roasted chana dal(Pottukadalai) - 2 cups
Sugar 2 1/2 cups
Elachi a few
Ghee 1 cup
Milkmaid 1 tin
Milk 1/2 litre
Cashews a few broken into small pieces.
Black raisins a few
Method of preparation
Peel and grind almond adding milk to smooth consistency. Keep aside.
Grate coconut and grind it also by adding milk and keep it ready.
Powder roasted chana dal and seive it. Keep it ready.
Crush elachi and keep the powder.
In a large non stick pan pour one cup water add sugar. Mix well allow the sugar to boil. Once it reaches one string consistency add almond paste and coconut paste. Mix well add ghee to it. Keep stirring as it may get stuck to the bottom for about 10 minutes by now almond and coconut will be emitting delicious aroma. Add elachi powder, raisins and broken cashews. Add milkmaid to this and keep stirring. To this slowly add roasted chana dal powder. Make sure you mix it well as it may form lumps. Once all the ingredients are mixed well keep stirring. Add badam mix powder. Keep mixing the halwa. At this point I poured the halwa in a large microwavable bowl with lid. Kept it for about 10 minutes for further reduction and even baking. Off the microwave and allow the mixture to cool down. Serve it in room temperature. It's taste delicious.
