Halwa Recipe

Halwa is a popular and versatile dessert in many cultures, especially in South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. The word "halwa" refers to a variety of sweet dishes, often made with ingredients like lentils, carrots, semolina, or even pumpkin. One of the most common types is gajar ka halwa, a warm and fragrant carrot-based dessert, but others like sooji halwa (semolina halwa) are also favorites. Halwa is typically rich, flavorful, and has a smooth, pudding-like texture. It is often made with ghee (clarified butter), sugar, nuts, and aromatic spices such as cardamom, and sometimes garnished with saffron or dried fruits.
