I love any form of Halwa. Sooji Halwa, Gajar Halwa and even Badam Halwa. But honestly, I never liked soaking and peeling all those almonds. It felt like too much work, so I stopped making it. Then one day, I realized I could use almond flour instead and still get that tasty badam halwa I love. This shortcut plus making it in the microwave saved me so much time and made it so easy to enjoy this special dessert anytime.
