This weekend we had invited some friends for dinner and I wanted to make something easy and special to celebrate with them. I bookmarked this recipe long back from Ayeesha and got a chance to prepare it today.Thank you Ayeesha for sharing this wonderful recipe.

This badam halwa is basically rich in texture with a mild sweetness. Grinded almonds are simmered in some creamy milk with a touch of cardamom flavor. Its got a divine taste and I am sure you will enjoy it.
