About Puri halwa

Puri Halwa is a classic dish from Indian cuisine, often enjoyed during festive occasions or as a comforting treat. It consists of two components: puri, which are deep-fried, golden-brown wheat flour breads, and halwa, a rich, sweet pudding made primarily of semolina (sooji), ghee, sugar, and water, often flavored with cardamom and garnished with nuts like almonds or cashews. While Puri Halwa is delicious and indulgent, its nutritional profile leans toward high calories due to the deep frying and generous use of ghee and sugar. However, it does provide energy, and the inclusion of nuts adds some healthy fats and nutrients. Moderation is key to enjoying this dish as part of a balanced diet, and variations with reduced sugar or less ghee can make it mildly healthier without losing its delightful flavor.
