Bombay Ice Halwa
Ice Halwa, i was so thrilled when i came across this recipe. It is very very unique and it looked very tempting to me as well. When i decided to try it, i had no idea how this will turn out. But when i made it, it was just perfect. So easy peasy halwa to make. You can never go wrong with this halwa.
The taste of this halwa was very unique. It is cool, chewy and delicious. I served it cold and everyone enjoyed it so much. The main thing about this is, it needs constant stirring and mixing. But over all a simple recipe and you can never fail in it.

That is an easy recipe, thanks for it 🙂 But my question is can we make it with Maida instead of cornflour?
Planning to make it tomorrow, so it would help if I can get a response at the earliest 🙂

Will it get hard if we kept it outside for a long time? (After cooking).
