To make quick almond sheera more flavourful you can add ¼ teaspoon of cardamom powder to it.

To make quick badam ka halwa

To make quick badam ka halwa, first choose good quality almonds. You can use almond halves as well, since these almonds have to be blended only. Look for almonds that are uniform in color and not limp or shriveled. In addition, smell the almonds. They should smell sweet and nutty; if their odor is sharp or bitter, they are rancid. Read All about Almonds.
Place the almonds in mixer jar.
Blend the almonds into a coarse powder. Remember that coarse texture is the basis of almond halwa. A fine mixture of almonds would give a smooth finish like sheera. Keep the coarsely blended almonds aside.

Now to make instant almond halwa, heat ghee in a broad non-stick pan. Do not add too much ghee like many other Indian mithais. You might land up into a chewy halwa.
Once the ghee is hot, add the blended almonds.
Sauté them on a slow flame for 3 minutes. Slow flame is extremely necessary to uniformly cook the almonds without burning them. The almond powder will turn light brown in colour upon sautéing
Add milk to the pan.
Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring continuously. The mixture of badam halwa recipe will lose all the water and turn smooth. It will yet be slightly runny and not completely lumpy.

At this stage, add the sugar.
Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 4 minutes, while stirring continuously. The sugar should completely melt and the badam halwa will start leaving the sides of the pan and turn into a lump. Also the halwa will be a more deeper brown in colour. This is an indication that the quick badam ka halwa is ready.
Instant almond halwa with 4 ingredients is ready in 9 minutes. Garnish it with almond slivers if you wish to. Serve it immediately.
