How to Make Badam Ka Seera

  1. Peel 1 cup of almonds. Rinse them thoroughly and grind into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor.
  2. Heat 1/2 cup of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the almond paste to the hot ghee. Cook, stirring continuously, initially over medium-high heat, then reduce to low heat.
  4. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture turns a light golden brown and a fragrant aroma develops (about 10-15 minutes).
  5. Carefully pour in 1/2 cup of hot milk, stirring continuously to prevent splattering. Use a long-handled spatula for safety.
  6. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and continue cooking, stirring gently until the ghee separates from the mixture and the halwa pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. Garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or cashews) and serve warm.
  9. Enjoy this delightful Indian sweet!
