Badam Cake

1 cup very finely powdered almonds
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ghee

Soak almonds for one hour. Drain. Remove the skins and grind into a thick smooth paste, adding minimum water.

In a heavy pot, mix sugar and 1/4 cup water and heat. When the sugar is completely melted, add the almond paste and cook for five minutes. Add ghee and remove from heat. Pour onto a large plate, and smooth the surface of the mixture with a roller. Cut with a knife by drawing parallel lines in the form of cubes.
