ReplyDeleteSuch a nice colour, Ambreen!
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to make a thin consistency of besan for colds, then I improvised it to eat it as parshaad when I went on gluten free living and used chickpea flour.Besan and chickpea flour are made from two different bean and taste slightly different.They both tastes great,though. check my version here http://www.simpleglutenfreekitchen.com/2011/11/parshad.html
This looks delicious!!

ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite halwas. However, I don't make it at home often because firstly, I don't have the time or patience to stir it for so long and secondly, my husband is really very calorie conscious. Your pics are making me drool.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yum..i never knew it is so easy in making....
ReplyDeleteWow, looks so tempting. I dont like ghee but I eat this one at once.
ReplyDeletewonderful presentation of flavors..
ReplyDeleteTasty Appetite

ReplyDeleteAlways looking for a gluten free dessert. Thanks it sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your blog and I can't wait to try the halva recipe. I am vegan so I will have to use coconut oil instead of ghee, but the results will hopefully be similar :) Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope you will come and visit again!
