Badam Halwa
On this special occasion, I wanted to share a simple recipe that can be made with few ingredients. Badam Halwa is a family favorite. You will only require few ingredients for this Halwa. Its rich in flavor and tastes so delicious. I like to make it at home as I can control the amount of sugar that goes in this Halwa.
