      Simply Superb , it would have been great if this receipe was introduced before Diwali.

      Hope this beats Tirunalvelli halwa.

    yaa sure pavithra.

    make the flour as thick puri dough , cover with water and soak for 1 hr.
    mix water and dough and you can extract the milk .

    use cloth to sieve the milk.

    looks yummy….instead of using whole wheat can we use the powder flour(chapati flour)?

      Chappathi flour is atta flour right… The light brown.. Use the white flour… We call it wheat flour in Sri Lanka.. We use that flour only for halwa… But it take 2 – 3 days for us to make with it. Why dont u give a try with a small measurement. 

      Cheers
