Milk halwa

Milk Halwa or Paal Halwa Recipe – This Milk halwa is my hubby favorite dessert. During my early marriage days, he used to ask me whether I know to prepare Milk Halwa.. That time cooking is a nightmare for me. Also as I am not fond of any milk desserts I didn’t show much interest in learning this Halwa recipe.

After I came Singapore, One day, my father brought this Halwa from India and I loved the taste. From then on, I wanted to prepare the halwa, but somehow kept postponing. So finally last week took the recipe from here n tried to celebrate my blogs anniversary month (6th year) and it came out good. Kept for 3 days and finished it. Let’s check on the Preparation of Milk Halwa.
