Spoon the warm Badam Halwa onto a small plate or into a bowl. Use the back of the spoon to create a smooth, slightly domed surface. Alternatively, shape it into small mounds on a serving tray for an elegant touch, serve in individual ramekins for a more refined presentation, or lay it flat on a platter and cut into rectangular pieces for a neat, modern look.

Pair Badam Halwa with a cup of steaming masala chai for a cosy, indulgent snack. Alternatively, enjoy it with a refreshing sweet lassi for a cooling balance, or pair it with a strong cup of filter coffee to complement its richness. For a more filling treat, serve it alongside a warm, soft paratha or roti, adding a touch of North Indian flair to this traditionally South Indian sweet for a satisfying savoury-sweet combination.

Sprinkle a few slivered pistachios or cashews over the halwa for a pretty, contrasting garnish that adds a hint of crunch. Top it with a few strands of saffron for a pop of colour and aroma, or dust with a light sprinkle of cardamom powder to enhance its fragrance. A delicate drizzle of rose water can also be added for a subtle floral note.
