Instructions
 

  • In a large microwave-safe glass bowl, combine almond flour, ghee, and milk. Mix well until smooth and lump-free.
  • Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Carefully remove and stir well.
  • Microwave again for 1 minute. Stir to ensure the mixture cooks evenly.
  • Add sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron strands. Mix until the sugar dissolves.
  • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, for approximately 1.5-2 minutes or until the halwa thickens, turns glossy, and starts leaving the sides of the bowl.
  • Let the halwa rest for 1 minute. Garnish with chopped almonds and pistachios.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use blanched almond flour, not almond meal, for a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Microwave cooking times may vary depending on wattage. Adjust in 30-second intervals.
  • Stir between cooking intervals to prevent uneven cooking or burning.
  • The halwa thickens further as it cools. Avoid overcooking.
  • If the halwa becomes too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of warm milk.
  • Adjust sugar according to your preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat with a splash of milk before serving.
