Butterless Almond Halwa


I prepared this halwa without adding butter or ghee. I just greased my hand to roll into balls.
This was prepared in microwave oven and I used a glass bowl, without greasing the bowl I pour the mixture in it. You can add a pinch of saffron also, as my kids don’t like the taste of it I just avoided it. Adding ghee roasted cashews and raisins also adds more taste to it. The only difficult task in it is the almond peeling job. So make your kids engage in it. I made my kids also to help me in it. There was a competition between them that who will peel more, they enjoyed it well. So the peeling part also came so easy.



Ingredients
Almond/Badam: 2 cups
Sugar: 1 cup
Milk: 3 cups
Cardamom: 4

Method of Preparation
Soak almond for 5-6 hrs.
Peel the almonds.
Grind the almonds by adding sugar, milk and cardamom to a smooth paste.
Empty this into an oven proof glass bowl. (Take a big bowl so that it will not over flow from it while boiling.)
Micro wave to about 20 minutes or till it become a texture that you can roll it.
Stir in between while microwaving it.
Take it out when it is done. When cooled roll it to small balls.
You can garnish by keeping raisins at the center. (This step is not necessary)
Instead of rolling to balls you can transfer to greased tray/plate while it is hot and cut into square pieces when cools.

    You might also know that exercise plays a key role in weight loss, but did you know that if you don't exercise when you diet, you might end up losing mostly lean muscle tissue? When you diet without exercising, your body uses lean muscle mass for energy. But if you add exercise to your daily routine, your body will turn to those fat stores for fuel. If you're really serious about getting in shape for your wedding day, you need to strike a balance between healthy eating and exercise. Even model Fawnia Mondey treats herself to some treat-cheat meals. Craving something sweet or salty, according to this model is normal and could mean a change in diet routine is in order. Many people associate carbohydrates with sugar, but what you need to know is that not all carbohydrates are created equal and the ones you're eating, thinking they're healthy, may be doing you more harm than good. You need carbs to make your body function properly, but there are certain carbs that you absolutely do not need. For example, many people believe the whole wheat bread they're eating is good for them; definitely not. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Whole wheat bread will create an increase in blood sugar and insulin just as much as most other breads. This also happens with most pastas, even whole wheat ones. Almost all cereals, crackers, even the ones with all kinds of healthy claims. All of them will put you in that fat storing state. [url=http://wegreencoffeebeanextract.net/]We Green Coffee Bean Extract[/url] Despite the delay, analysts say Vivus may still capture greater market share than Arena because its pill helped patients on average lose at least 10 percent of their weight after a year of treatment in pivotal clinical trials - compared to the average 5 percent weight loss seen in trials of Arena's Belviq. For healthy, safe weight loss, you should consume balanced meals that provide a variety of nutrients. Dieting that involves severe restriction or avoiding entire food groups should not be part of your weight loss program. To lose weight, you have to create a calorie deficit, which means you need to consume fewer calories than your body uses throughout the day. Eating less while avoiding high-calorie and high-fat foods containing salt and sugar is key for reaching your goals. A study published in the journal "Obesity" in 2008 found that exercise has less impact than diet for losing weight. So even if you exercise intensely, you need to add walking to your routine for maximum heath. http://greencoffeetime.net/
