Pumpkin Halwa

Pumpkin Halwa
A sweet dish is a must in every house during the festive seasons. Made of several varieties, halwa is a really popular sweet that is widely known all over the south in India, and maybe even the Northern states of India. This insanely famous sweet, many imagine is one the most difficult sweet to prepare. The correct consistency and sweetness seems almost impossible to achieve at home. The halwa I made this time is the Pumpkin Halwa. And, to me, this was possibly one of the easiest dishes to make which didn’t have a long process or many ingredients either. So, I thought I can share the recipe with you all too. This is how I prepare the dish. It never fails to satisfy me.
