As we dwell further into this frosty season, our taste buds require something that can warm us on the inside. What’s better than homemade sweets that give a nostalgic feeling?
The recipes of halwa, kheer, laddus and many others are passed on from generation to generation in an Indian household. It holds not only great taste but also brings forth opportunities to experiment with various tastes. Now is your chance to try these yourselves and experience a taste sensation different from the most popular winter dishes.
Sooji ka halwa — Indian semolina pudding — is a classic dish and can be made quickly and efficiently.
