Badham Halwa, the richness of the dessert derived from its name. Authentic halwa recipe with very minimal ingredient list.

Almonds are the star of nuts. Almonds are a bone-building food. These are a great source of healthy monounsaturated fats. Almonds can be consumed in many ways, like soaked and balanced almonds are good source to improve overall diet quality. 

Almond/Badham is a very good source of vitamins and rich contents. Badham milk is recommended in the night time for a good sleep. Badham improves immunity to the kids. Adding food color is completely your choice, here to get the perfect colour I have used food colour. Here for the presentation and for the look I have added a pinch of food colour. Usually I don’t prefer food color in my recipes . Check with the recipe for more details and do try and let me know how it turns.

  • If you add too much of milk it took more time to cook..
  • Adding sugar is your choice.. you can reduce the level to your taste buds..
  • Once the ghee trace in the last stage immediately switch off the flame…
