Step 2) Then grind it to a coarse paste by adding milk. Do not grind it to a very smooth paste.If you grind it a very fine paste then the texture of the halva wont be good, halwa should have a little grainy texture.This is the consistency which we need for making halva.

Step 3) Now to make halva melt some ghee and then add the badam paste mix it well then add sugar I have added 1 cup of sugar for 1 cup of Almonds.If you like it to be too sweet you can increase the amount of sugar somewhere form 1-2 cups of sugar

Step 4) Mix it completely and keep on stirring once the sugar dissolves completely add some saffron milk to get a nice color I have soaked few strands of saffron in 2 tbsp warm milk for 15 minutes.Mix it nicely in and keep on stirring. Prefer a non-stick pan to prevent the halva from sticking to the bottom.

Step 5) It may take around 15-20 minutes (on a low to medium heat) for halva to set so keep on stirring to prevent from burning and sticking.Add 1 pinch of cardamom powder (this is optional if you don’t like the flavor of cardamom you can skip).Now you can see the halva has started to set and it is detached from the sides of the pan and is rotating together. Finally you can also add a tbsp of ghee to enrich the taste of Halwa. Now we have the perfect consistency of the halva. Its time for plating you can add some slivered almonds at the top and serve.
