#NDD - This is a Shahi dessert from the royal kitchens of India and is almost a lost recipe now. The end product is like any other halwa that is generally made, but far more exotic and tastier. Very few basic ingredients goes into dishing out this halwa. Typically ground dry fruits and jaggery are used. However, I made use of semolina and plain sugar. Brown sugar can also be added. This dessert is apt for a festive occasion.
