Ok the Halwa Sceptic has finally tried this pudding! It is truly divine. Together with Charishma's tips in the Q & A, I got this halwa perfect. It was deliciously soft and moist. I did find it really really sweet though, so the next time I make it, I will cut down the sugar to 1 cup. I omitted the cashews but added a piece of whole cinnamon instead. To compensate on the sweetness, I served the halwa with fresh unsweetened cream. Great recipe Charishma & thanx for sharing!

Absolutely delicious, and I don't even like Suji! Even my picky hubbie luved, and couldn't stop eating it. I did follow the recipie exactly, minus the cashew nuts. However, for me the Halwa never fully left the sides of the pan. I also think that this needs a bit more moisture, and coloring, perhaps a few threads of saffron next time, will do the trick. Thank u so much for sharing!
