How To Make Suji Badam Halwa

1. To begin the recipe, start by dry roasting the almonds in a pan until they turn lightly golden. Set aside some whole almonds to use for garnish later. Grind the remaining almonds into a coarse powder and set it aside.

2. Now in a separate pan, heat half a cup of ghee over medium heat. Once hot, add the almond powder and mix it well until it turns golden. 

3. Now, add the semolina to the pan and mix it in thoroughly with the almond powder. Add in the sugar and combine well. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and let the mixture cook for 8 to 10 minutes. 

4. Once the halwa begins to thicken, add a few strands of saffron for colour and flavour then again mix it. Let it cook until it reaches a desirable consistency.

5. Then add green cardamom powder, a tablespoon ghee, and mix everything together. Garnish with saved almonds and serve.
