I have posted all the remaining sweets for this season, how can I miss Laddu with Almond flour😋 I know my blog is flooded with Almonds flour recipes, but this is one final recipe based on almond flour for this month🤣

Last summer when my parents came, and Amma experimented with some sweets with Almond flour. Ever since my childhood days, I am a big fan of Laddu. Rava Laddu was one of my all-time favorite sweets. Almonds are good for health so we got all excited while experimenting recipes. I know if it is taken with sugar, some of us won’t put it in the healthy category.

Serve it warm or cold, this Badam payasam tastes great. Badam milk is a nice healthy drink for kids and also good for pregnant women. This homemade Badam milk is so addictive.

My Almond flour mania continues😊 Ever since I started “Sweet February”. I have been posting a couple of sweets in Burfi and halwa form. Finally, there is a drink to enjoy😋 This is an Indian version of Almond milk. Almond milk I see here is prepared with almonds, and those are vegan, but this one is prepared with cow’s milk.

When I was a child my favorite summer drinks were mtr and poonam Badam drink. Both differ slightly in taste and also texture. I prefer chopped almonds that I get to bite while drinking the milk, but my sister prefers the other. Chennai's summer days outing never ended without Badam milk.

One day seeing the Almond meal in the pantry she wanted to try a Burfi with it. I am so glad that happened, nowadays this Burfi overtakes maida Burfi.

During my initial days of cooking, having a sweet tooth I always wanted to prepare some sweet. As much as I like Indian sweets, the thought of making it always gives me second thoughts because of elaborate process. Perfect consistency and texture makes the sweet best. When Amma cooks and gives me in a plate, I will happily comment, but when I tried it on my own, couple of string-consistency sweets went into my top bloopers episodes.

After the fudge post I was in a big dilemma in choosing my next post. I noticed many recipes in one category like sweet, kuzhambu, rice, tiffin etc.

I was telling this to hubby and he was kidding why can’t you post “Sweet month”, “Kuzhambu month” like that. I had a good laugh at his idea but after some thinking here we are in “Sweet February”. Yes that’s the name I came for this month (I know I can do a better job when it comes to naming🤣) You are going to see couple of sweets going forward 😋 if you have a sweet tooth like me this is definitely a treat.

Though it demanded me to make some sweet and post, I restricted myself by browsing my camera, Well my new year resolution is to post all the 2017 planned recipes this year, let's see.😂 While browsing for a recipe, these delicious fudges were calling me.

After coming to the US, the food network introduced me to fudges. During the holiday season, one of the chefs prepared fudge to send to her friends. I like the way it was prepared - super quick. The original fudge recipe was with chocolate chip and condensed milk. I generally follow the recipe and make fudge.
