This is the best Almond and Saffron Halva recipe on the web!!(Kesari Badaam Halva) Category: Halva Makes 4 to 6 servings Made in much the same way as traditional halvas, here ground almonds replace part of the semolina, and saffron threads lend their unique color and aroma. _ to 2 tablespoons Dessert Masala ___ teaspoon saffron threads _ tablespoons whole milk ___ to 1/2 cup Indian Clarified Butter (ghee) ___ cup fine semolina _ cup shelled ground raw almonds _ cup sugar ___ teaspoon ground green cardamom seeds _ tablespoons coarsely chopped shelled raw pistachio nuts _ cups boiling water _ (4-inch) silver leaves (optional) 1. Prepare the dessert masala. Then, in a small bowl soak the saffron threads in the milk about 30 minutes. 2. In a large wok or saucepan, mix the ghee and semolina and cook, stirring, over medium-low heat until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Mix in the ground almonds and cook, stirring, until the nuts turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes. 3. Add the sugar, cardamom seeds, pistachios, and saffron-infused milk (reserving the saffron threads) and continue to roast, stirring, about 5 minutes. This process roasts the pistachios and lightly caramelizes the sugar. 4. Standing far from the pan, carefully, add the boiling water. (Use caution when adding the water, because as soon as it touches the hot wok, it will steam and splatter for 5 to 10 seconds.) Cover the pan and simmer, stirring occasionally, until all the water is absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes. 5. Uncover the pan and cook, stirring, until the halva pulls away from the sides of the pan and a shiny glaze appears on top, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with the silver leaves (if using), reserved saffron threads, and the dessert masala, and serve hot. From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.
