#dussehra - Ever heard of a dessert made of mutton? It is almost a lost recipe now. Sounds unique but actually it turns out very delicious. I came across this interesting never-heard-before-recipe and so decided to give it a try.

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 if you are of an adventurous type, go ahead and give this exotic dessert a try.
