    Mehebub loves Posto (Poppy Seed) based dishes a lot and he can have it any form; be it sweet or savory. Why not, after all, he is from Birbhum! Well, I people from Birbhum district prefer posto as compared to people from other districts. His love for Posto is unconditional. Needless to say, he loves his portion of Posto Badam Halwa. I was not even aware before marriage about the Posto Badam Halwa prepared with Posto and I heard about it for the first time from him and then I learned from my MIL how to make this tasty Posto Badam Halwa.
    This particular dish, Posto Badam Halwa is a family favorite in my in law's place. It is something my mother in law prepares in every single occasion. This Posto Badam Halwa is very nutritious and often given to new mothers after delivery. This is one of My MIL's signature Recipe and Hubby's favorite as well. This is one of the dishes that I prepare on Eid.
