HOW I COOKED

First I soaked almonds in cool water.and in the next morning I prepared this recipe.But,I suggest to soak in hot water.

Heated a non stick pan with 1/2 cup of milk  and let it boil.Then  added almond+ground paste and cook in low flame til it looses raw smell.May be 4-5 minutes.

Then add milk powder +cardamom powder r and again mix continuously until it starts thickening..

Once it turns hard(when you can`t stir) turn off and  2 tbsp of ghee.Apply some ghee to plate and place halwa on plate.

Shaped it like square with spoon and cut into pieces.after few minutes you can separate the pieces.

This is how I cooked first and I got good shaped pieces too.But tastes less in sweet.

So,again I heated pan with half cup of sugar+1/4 cup of water and boiled in high flame..after 5-6 minutes I added above almond milk powder mixture into this and mixed for 5 minutes in low flame.

Then turned off.This time it tasted good same like other halws it was good in consistency too.
