About Sweet halwa

Sweet Halwa is a rich, traditional dessert originating from South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, renowned for its vibrant flavor and aromatic appeal. Commonly made with ingredients like semolina, wheat flour, or lentils, it is cooked with ghee (clarified butter), sugar, and water, often garnished with nuts such as almonds, cashews, or pistachios. Variations may include milk or flavorings like cardamom, saffron, or rose water for added depth. While Halwa is a source of energy thanks to its carbohydrates and fats, it is also calorie-dense and high in sugar and saturated fats, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. The inclusion of nuts can offer some nutritional benefit, such as healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Sweet Halwa embodies the comforting and celebratory essence of its cultural roots, often served during festivals, special occasions, or as a warming snack in colder seasons.
