i have already shared the simple badam burfi and kaju katli recipe which is has the same texture and consistency. yet badam ka halwa has its own unique taste and chewy texture. i personally like the almond halwa because of its chewy texture compared to badam burfi which is my husband’s favourite recipe. i typically do not prepare it frequently and i occasionally prepare it for auspicious occasions and for religious festivals. i even prepare badam halwa by mixing the cashew and badam powder to prepare badam and cashew halwa recipe.
furthermore, some important tips and recommendations for perfect chewy badam halwa recipe. firstly, soaking of almond nuts is very important and soak it in warm water so that skin of badam easily peels off. secondly, i have finely grounded almonds and then used it for the badam ka halwa recipe. alternatively, you can also make coarse paste for different texture. lastly, if you are vegan you can also use almond milk and oil in place ghee and milk.
