Badam halwa is a simple dish to make as all it takes is just four ingredients: Almonds (Badam), Jaggery, Milk and Ghee πŸ™‚ You can even use water instead of milk (for vegan version).

No Sugar

This sweet is usually made with sugar, but as I am getting more health-conscious, I used jaggery (gur) instead of sugar. But as it turns out, the taste does not differ much.

Traditionally we use jaggery in various dishes as it has good iron content that our bodies need (especially useful if you are anemic). Also, almonds’ health benefits are well-known. This makes our badam halwa particularly healthy!

You have a healthy and tasty dessert just by using jaggery as a healthy replacement to sugar. So, go on and indulge in this delicious guilt-free dessert and satisfy your sweet tooth πŸ™‚
