We had a potluck last week and there was this dessert that one of my friends brought for us. Badam halwa ... the name makes my mouth water. I know it is nothing else but cholesterol and cholesterol but eating a little once in a while will not do any harm. This dish was creamy, rich and luscious. My aunt makes this but a little different way. Down here is my friends recipe that is sure make a delectable dessert. I tried this and it turned out perfect.
