BADAM HALWA

Halwa is a delicious sweet dessert from India. I love halwas from my childhood, My uncle will always buy halwas for me when he visits my home. The taste and its  flavour is mouthwatering.

It gives you stamina, blood flood and increase white blood cells also  controls low blood pressure. It reduces the possibility of heart attack ans stroke.
