badam halwa recipeBadam halwa recipe a rich and special halwa that you can make at home.Badam halwa or almond halwa is made using pureed almonds, ghee, sugar and saffron as main ingredients.

I have tasted badam halwa orĀ almond halwa quite a few times at sri krishna sweets and has always loved the texture soft melt in the mouth yet grainy and I was waiting to try it.And yes after quite a few trials finally got the perfect texture that I always wanted this time!

Also badam halwa always reminds me of our wedding where they served this badam halwa as small packets.I have already posted badam halwa recipe long back which used milk but now this version is without milk so has more shelf life too.This recipe yields perfect badam halwa just like in sweet shops and weddings, do try it.

  • 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Soak almonds in hot water for atleast an hour.Peel off the skin and transfer them to a mixer jar.Soak saffron in a tbsp of warm water, set aside.
  • Add 1/3 cup water to it and grind it to a paste consistency. It should be grainy not too smooth.Soak saffron in warm water and keep it ready. In a pan add almond paste along with sugar and saffron water.
  • Mix well first it will be runny.Keep cooking in low flame. It will start to thicken in few mins.
  • Add ghee little by little.Keep stirring continuously. Do not leave it unattended.
  • Add ghee in intervals and keep stirring.Always cook in low flame or low medium.
  • Add remaining ghee and keep cooking, it will start to leave the sides of the pan. 
  • It will gather as a mass, switch off at this stage.
  • Cool down for atleast 30mins,now take 2 spoon fulls of badam halwa and place it on folded parchment paper as shown.
  • Level it.Close and set aside.This is the way they serve in weddings.I just made few parcels then kept it as such as I love to eat it as such with a spoon...heaven!

Notes

  • Keep stirring in low flame, it may burn easily so don't leave unattended even for a minute.
  • You can replace water with milk too but to increase shelf life then skip milk.
  • Adding saffron at the initial stage makes sure the flavour gets in the halwa fully.
  • Use good quality saffron.I did not add any food color this time and let the natural color of saffron itself.
  • It will thicken with time so switch off a bit goey.You can heat it up while serving too if you feel it dry.

    Hi Sharmi.. recently I’m so addicted to this badam halwa. Tasted it from Coimbatore Sri Krishna sweets. Did not get the same taste here in Chennai. So can you pls confirm that the recipe you hav tried tastes similar to the Coimbatore One ?

    Hello sharmi !

    I have been following your blog for more than 5 yrs and it’s been a life saver for me at many instances. For this diwali I tried this badam halwa and it turned out good. Thank you. Since there are still 10days for diwali, can I refrigerate the sweet and put it out a day before diwali? Would it still stay good and non-sticky? Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you and wish you and your family a very happy diwali!
