Ingredients You Need for Badam Halwa: Indian Almond Pudding [Vegan]

For the halwa

3 cups almonds
2-3 cups of non-dairy milk
4 tbsp vegan butter
3 cups of sugar
1 tsp cardamom powder

For the garnish

2-3 tbsp pumpkin seeds
2-3 tbsp golden raisins
1 tsp canola oil

How to Prepare Badam Halwa: Indian Almond Pudding [Vegan]

Place the almonds in a blender.
Cover the almonds in the blender with enough soymilk to cover them by at least half an inch.
Blend until you have a pancake-like batter. You want the almond paste to be slightly grainy, but without any big pieces.
Melt the vegan butter in a skillet, preferably a really well-seasoned cast-iron or non-stick one.
Pour the almond paste into the skillet.
Add the sugar.
Over medium-low heat, stir the paste constantly with a ladle to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
When the paste loses a good deal of its moisture and expresses the fat, turn off the heat. Stir in the cardamom powder.
Pour into a plate or a serving dish.
To garnish, heat the canola oil in a small saucepan.
Add the pumpkin seeds and raisins and stir until they just start to change color.
Pour over the halwa.
