Halwa, is a catch all name for a pudding like confection made from butter, sugar and a variety of fruit and vegetables, carrot being a most popular one. When warm it's pudding like and when cold more fudge like This adapted recipe from the Net for a yummy dessert which can either served warm or cold. Read more I chilled the mixture and shaped into small balls, rolled them in crushed nuts and placed in small fluted muffin papers for a wedding reception. See less
