Quick Almond or Badam halwa

Blanched Almonds - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 cup (I used half a cup)
Milk -  1 cup + 2 tbsp
White sugar - 2 cups. 

Saffron - 1 large pinch

Method

Soak the almonds for an hour. Blend almonds and 1 cup milk together. Heat the 2 tbsp of milk in a heavy bottom pan (preferably non stick). Add saffron to the milk. When the milk is hot and about to boil, add the almond paste. On medium heat, stir continuously. After 8-10 min, the almonds paste changes color, at this point start adding sugar and ghee little by little at a time. After 10 mins, halwa will be ready and all the ghee will be absorbed. Decorate the halwa with almonds & pistachios. Serve this halwa hot.
