STEPS 1-2

Heat the pan and when it is hot, add the saffron strands and roast. Roasting the saffron strands helps to bring out its aroma. Add this toasted saffron to the luke-warm milk and let it sit.

StepS 3-4

In the same pan, add ½ tbsp of ghee and let it melt. Now add the almond flour and roast over medium-low heat. Now add the saffron milk mixture and mix it without any lumps.

Step 5

Let it cook. It will bubble-up, and that’s normal. At this stage, add ghee and cook again for 3 to 4 more minutes or until it thickens. 

StepS 6-7

Now add the sugar and the cardamom powder. Mix well, and the halwa will be runny, and that's normal.

Step 8

Cook this halwa mix until it thickens. Please do not leave it unattended. Add ghee, and add ½ more tbsp of ghee. I prefer adding a small amount of ghee at regular intervals than adding all at once. 

Step 9

Alternatively, you can take a small piece of halwa and let it cool. If you can make a small ball without the halwa sticking your fingers, it is done. Overcooking the halwa makes it slightly chewy. The halwa cools as it thickens. 

Enjoy!
