- Adding food color is purely optional but it gives a nice look to the halwa.
- After it reaches the consistency remove it from the heat.
- When it is warm it may be slightly watery but after cooling the halwa will be in the correct consistency.
- Do not grind the almonds to a very fine paste.
- While cooking the mixture splutters so be careful and once it is nearing to the consistency the spluttering reduces,its a sign.
- If you feel the mixture is sticky the add some ghee.
- You can wrap single serving of halwa in a butter paper and keep it
- Soak the almonds in hot water if you want it get it done right away.

Badam Halwa is such a rich and comforting dessert—perfect for festivals and special occasions! I love how it combines the warmth of ghee with the nuttiness of almonds and just the right amount of sweetness. Speaking of celebrations, I recently helped organize a festive event where we served Badam Halwa, and we also added a creative twist by giving out small gift bags decorated with custom sequin iron-on patches featuring traditional motifs. It was such a hit—guests loved the mix of delicious food and thoughtful, sparkly keepsakes. If you're planning a themed gathering, combining treats like Badam Halwa with personalized decor or favors really brings everything together beautifully.
