Sweets, I can’t and won’t live without it, especially this time of the year and that too homemade. I love to prepare fresh mithai each and every Diwali without fail instead of buying from the store. I hardly buy sweets from the shop, so over the years, I have taught myself to make a few favourite ones from scratch. Not only on Diwali but throughout the year, the unbeatable freshness of homemade sweets and mithai and the taste keep me busy in the kitchen.

HABSHI HALWA

Habshi translates ‘dark’ or colour ‘black’, according to history this recipe comes from the royal kitchens during The Moghuls and it is supposed to be eaten during colder months.  Habshi Halwa made up with many ingredients like Milk, Desi Ghee, Sprouted wheat, Nuts and few spices and takes a long time to prepare. I have not followed any particular recipe from the internet, also I have tried to write the recipe in details as possible, including some tips that I’ve learnt and understood over the years. I hope that in the future my daughter and also you try your hand at making it for family and friends !!!
