Contributor: supraja
girls try this ..very yummy

Cashew Badam Halwa

Ingredients:
1. Badam and cashew - 1 cup (Soak overnight in milk)
2. Ghee - 2 cups
3. Sugar - 2 cups
4. Cardomom powder - 2 tsp
5. Any food colour - 1 tsp(Optional)
6. Grated Cashews/badam for garnish

1. Grind the soaked nuts with milk in to a fine paste.
2. In a heavy bottomed pan, prepare sugar syrup. Put the sugar and pour water just enough for the sugar to sink. Ass the food colour if needed at this stage. Boil and stir till the one string consistency is reached.
3. Now add the nuts paste and stir constantly from the bottom. Add ghee little by little and stir without leaving. The halwa will obsorb all the ghee while stiring.
4. Add the ghee fully slowly, till the ghee floats on top of the halwa and the halwa doesn't stick in the vessel. This will take 15-20 mins.
5. Add the cardomom powder and give a stir.
5. Decorate with grated cashews and serve hot.

Visa's 7 cups Burfi:
Besan:1 cup
coconut/Almonds/cashews:1 cup
Milk:1cup
Ghee:1 cup
sugar:3 cups

Mehtod:
-If using coconut grind it so, itz fine nd soft.If using badam or cashews soak in boiling water for a hour,peel the almonds and grind with 1 cup of milk to a paste.

*also grease a plate with little ghee and keep a side.

- sieve, then fry besan in about 1tbspn of ghee till it leaves nice aroma,stirring constantly taking care not to burn.

-combine sugar,ghee, milk,almond/coconut with besan in a heavy bottomed pan and heat on medium. cook until it thickens,leaves the sidesof pans and kind of bubbles up (about 20 mins).Imediately remove from the stove and pour onto a greased plate.

-when it cools a little bit cut into desired shapes.

this is perfect recipe for atleast 20 medium square pieces think so
