#TOF - This unique Halwa actually turns out very delicious without any trace of any spiciness. The end product is like any other halwa that is generally made, but far more yummier. So it is an interesting twist to the traditional Indian style halwa. I bet no one will be able to guess the core ingredient. So introduce this Green Chili Halwa to your loved ones this festive season.
