About Sohan halwa

Sohan Halwa is a traditional South Asian dessert, particularly popular in Pakistan and India, with origins tracing back centuries to Persian-influenced cuisine. This confection is made by cooking a rich mixture of wheat flour, ghee (clarified butter), sugar, milk, and generous amounts of chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds. The result is a dense, chewy treat with a caramel-like flavor and a nutty crunch. Sohan Halwa is energy-dense and rich in calories, primarily due to its high sugar and fat content, which provide quick energy but may be less ideal for those watching their calorie or sugar intake. The inclusion of nuts adds a nutritional boost, providing healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients such as magnesium and vitamin E. While delicious and culturally significant, Sohan Halwa is best enjoyed in moderation due to its rich, indulgent profile.
