Badam Halwa: Indian Almond Pudding [Vegan]

Badam Halwa, or Almond Halwa, is a rich, luscious treat that lends itself perfectly to very special occasions…like Diwali. But like the best dishes, it is also quite foolproof and requires just five ingredients (besides the garnish). Be warned that if you’re not patient and balk from some heavy-duty stirring over a hot stove for nearly an hour, this is not the sweet for you.
