Notes :

Add ghee as much as you can because ghee makes the Halwa more rich.

Stir it continuously otherwise the Halwa get burnt and spoil your dish.

Always cook on low to medium flame.

As the halwa looks little runny at first, once it cools…turns into halwa consistency.

Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
