NOTES

  • Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
  • Here I have used a pinch of turmeric powder instead of the Kesari colour and it works perfectly, without affecting the flavour of the halwa .
  • If you prefer soft, melt in the mouth consistency make sure you add 3/4 cup ghee.Use only 1/2 cup ,if you prefer to reduce the quantity of ghee.
  • Store in an airtight container in a refrigerator for upto a week.
