Notes

Shilpi’s Quick Tricks
Halwa
  • Using stale rotis keep the powder dry.
  • If using fresh roti then dry it first on a pan.
  • Keep on stirring to avoid lump formation.
  • If you think your jaggery isn’t clean then strain it once jaggery and water starts to boil.
  • Don’t make halwa too thick as it condenses after cooling down.
