Yesterday I made this halwa, Can you ever imagine that a halwa can be made in less than 15 mins. Now you can. I used my trusty microwave for cook this one and the result was pretty impressive. The colour was awesome, the texture was a bit like jelly but you get some crunchy nuts in between makes it more tasty. I took some to my mom's place and everyone loved a lot.
