Notes
1. If your halwa, is sticky add it again to the pan and add some more ghee.
2. If you are health concerned, you can reduce the ghee, but cannot assure whether you can get the same taste. 
2. Adding milk/condensed milk enriches the taste, but reduces shelf life of the halwa.
3. Can be stored in fridge for more than a week.
