My mother adapted this method when Zubaida Tariq aunty made this a long ago, This is a very easy way of making halwa, you can say jhat pat halwa making. I have garnished this halwa with boiled egg because few of my friends from Lahore posted pictures of halwa in which they used boiled egg as a garnish , when i asked them about the taste and logic of this garnish they told me that in Lahore this is a famous garnish. I then decided to check the taste myself 🙂 Truly i loved the combination of both.
