Suji Badam Halwa / Semolina almonds pudding / Rava badam kesari is one of the most popular dessert in Indian homes. It is often made for any celebration function or festivals. In this recipe i used suji and badam in the sme proportion. Badam adds a lovely nutty flavour. You can use water or milk as per your preference. But milk adds more richness and creamy flavour to the dessert. I reduced ghee quantity slightly. If you prefer to have more ghee then you can add extra 1-2 tbsp. Soaking badam in hot water for 10 minutes helps in peeling the skin quickly
