Notes
Can also do with greengrams..usual ashoka halwa is basically with green grams..
Can keep in Fridge, but before serve, heat in microwave oven to melt the butter.
Can keep in room temperature for 2 days.
Can also use Vanaspathi instead of butter.

Hi Priya,
I am always hesitant to make sweets as i screw them up completely.But I was very tempted looking at the pictures of your halwa and couldn’t resist.So I tried this today and it came out very well. In my opinion, this is one mission accomplished!!!!
Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe and a nice presentation.
Keep up the good work.
