Recipe 480: Halwa (4 types)

Halwa is a dessert which is popular not only in Indian cuisine but also in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Flour,semolina, grains or nuts form the base of a halwa and is garnished with nuts. It is known differently as aluva, chalava,halva etc. Traditionally it was prepared using semolina/ rawa, seeds and nuts but in the recent times we get to see many variations including vegetables and fruits.
