Sooji Halwa

This is the second recipe from our Lahori Nashta series. We shared the Channay recipe yesterday which can be found here.

Well, I’m sure we’ve all have had some share of Halwa on chotti Eid, right? Sooji ka halwa is a classic dish and is thoroughly enjoyed by people all over the sub continent.

Today, Nano is sharing this recipe which is slightly different from the conventional Sooji ka halwa recipe. By just adding a few more ingredients that can be found in every household, this halwa becomes so much better than a conventional one.

We promise you a finger licking experience 🙂

Stay tuned for the rest of the two recipes from Lahori Nashta series.
