Kasi Halwa
We do make carrot halwa quite often, since it is hubby’s favorite one. And amma
makes mysorepak often. Sweets really don’t need a particular time to make,
whenever we feel to indulge just go ahead and whip up something. My favorite is badam halwa
About Kasi Halwa (Kashi Halwa Recipe)
One evening after a simple lunch, my sweet tooth started to crave something sweet. I thought of making carrot halwa, but I ran out of them. Then I found a decent piece of
white pumpkin lying around and decided to try out a halwa using those.
This halwa is quite simple and calls for simple ingredients. But the halwa turns out
so shiny with a glaze. Loved it to the core and if you want to make a big batch of halwa then use quite a lot of white pumpkin, because this veg shrinks a lot than I thought, and I got a small bowl of halwa once it finished it. But a little goes a long way, you only need a small portion for each person. So try this out and let me know how it turns out for you.
