Badam Halwa ,3rd blog anniversary

Hello dear readers ! One of my favourite month October has started and it was also our 3rd blogoversary  which was on October 5th and it  went off my mind due to busy schedule . I remembered the next day of the anniversary . I had prepared this halwa during the month of shravan . My classmate Trupti prepares this halwa often and she keeps mentioning it in our school group which inspired me to prepare this yummilicious halwa . I referred few recipes from the net and then tried this halwa .. I thank all my well wishers from the bottom of my heart for all the support I received so far . Today is also the first day of Navaratri and what better post to share here in the space for double celebration . Happy Navaratri dear readers !
