MASALA HALWA
Fortified with 10 spices including pepper, bay leaf, cardamom, etc. Am told it is good for immunity, on the palate it’s an unusual mix of sweet and savoury.

FLAX SEED HALWA
Packed with flax seeds, this superfood halwa is an innovation here.

Mad with ghee roasted sweet nendran (banana) and cardamom, this is certainly the halwa to try if you like the classics.

This is truly ultimate halwa, hmm can’t wait to taste this
Respect to the guy who was making the halwa, my arms got tired watching him. Anyways I want to taste it very badly ?
The section of preparation of the halwa in the end of the episode is some amazing slow motion production?
I think you missed black Halwa..the best halwa ever??
But is that not from Kottayam ?
Its also notorious for being sticky
Never knew so many types of halwa’s, it’s always refreshing to watch your videos since you carry the small eatery place to a different level by your advance vocabulary sir ! Happy eating!
Halwa preparation vry hard work ?
Lemon salt aids in preventing the sugar from crystallization! Preservative, I don’t think so!!
