#mealfortwo - Ever heard of a dessert made of mutton? It is almost a lost recipe now. Sounds unique but actually it turns out very delicious.
The end product was like any other halwa / pudding that is generally made, but far more yummier. I bet no one will be able to guess the core ingredient. So definitely this will be a surprise gift on a Valentines day.
