Quick Easy tasty Almond dessert / Healthy Desert for Todlers/Kids
One of the royal and most liked dish during Diwali or any festive occasions is Badam ka Halwa . This Halwa is a Kind of Desert which can be made and stored in the refrigerator and easily remains good for about 15 days. You can just heat it in the microwave and serve to your guests.
Traditionally, almonds are soaked overnight, peeled and then made into a paste. Then the paste is stir fried in ghee and this process takes quite a bit of time and effort. I have learnt this instant type of quick recipe from my mother who is an awesome cook.
