Halwa Dessert

    I have been wanting to make this since so many days. Finally, got around to doing it today. I did not have saffron on hand, so used 2 drops of liquid yellow food colour instead which really worked like a charm in the recipe{the final colour of this dish was exactly how it should be}. Also, I omitted the almonds and sultanas because no-one was too keen on having those in this. This was so yummy and really wonderful. I served it with white bread on this cold and rainy winter night. I enjoyed it on its own too. Everyone said it was "First class!". Thanks alot for sharing.

    Halwa Dessert,This is a semolina halwa based on a recipe issued by the Indian Government more than 45 years ago. It is simple, buttery and not too sweet. We prefer this family favorite to other versions, such as those posted on Recipezaar, which you should try also. We hope this version will be your favorite, too.,I have been wanting to make this since so many days. Finally, got around to doing it today.
