Shahjahani Meetha (Tomato Halwa - Hyderabadi style)

#EF - This Hyderabadi style Shahjahani Meetha is a lost recipe. It was very popular during the olden days of the Moghuls. However, it is not much heard of. This unique halwa or dessert is prepared with tomatoes, which is the main ingredient in this recipe. It is a very easy and a simple recipe, having very few ingredients. So it can be dished out in a jiffy. It becomes all the more easier with store bought khoya.
To get the rich red colour, I added some beetroot puree instead of food colour. You can add anything you prefer. So surprise your loved ones with this dessert and let them play the guessing game of the core ingredient. This is a great party recipe apt for special occasions and weddings.
