Bombay ice halwa is a popular indian sweet delicacy mainly originated from Mumbai . The recipe extremely simple and is mainly prepared from corn flour or semolina mixture. This sweet got the name from it's texture and colour. Originally it looks like white glossy ice and hence the name given Ice halwa. But gradually it is made in several ways and flavours. I am sharing the most basic one with adding colour to make it more attractive.

Transfer the mixture on to butter paper.

Place another sheet of butter paper over it and spread the mixture uniformly with a rolling pin to form a rough square shape. The layer should be thin and uniform.
