Halwa with Milk & Saffron - حلوای زعفرانی

ghee

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Coconut oil offers a healthier fat option.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while adding a nutty flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness with a unique taste.

saffron

🥗Healthier: turmeric

💰Cheaper: yellow food coloring

Turmeric adds color but lacks saffron's distinct flavor.

Heat butter in a pan over medium heat until melted.

Add plain flour and roast until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in milk and stir continuously to avoid lumps.

Add sugar and mix until dissolved completely.

In a separate bowl, soak saffron in warm water for 5 minutes.

Add saffron water to the mixture and stir well.

Incorporate cardamom powder for flavor.

Cook until the halwa thickens, about 10 minutes.
