As a kid, the only Halwa I was aware of, were the colourful Halwas I saw in almost all bakeries in Kerala. One could find huge blocks of Halwa in various colours like Black, Orange, Yellow and Green. I somehow never really liked them. Few years back during our Kerala visit, my MIL bought some Milk Halwa from Indian Bakery near our place. On her insistence, I tasted a piece with much reluctance. To my surprise, I loved it and ended up having a couple more pieces. This Halwa was something different.
The other day while talking to my SIL who was in Kerala for a short trip, we happened to discuss about the Halwa. As luck would have it, she had a packet right in front of her. She listed out the ingredients. The only thing I had to do was to find the proportion. On searching the net, I came across a recipe from A tasty Challenge. The only change I made was to completely omit Sago. Also I halved the recipe as this was my first attempt. The best part was when J’s cousin dropped in unexpectedly. While serving the Halwa, I asked them to guess what it is. Pat came the reply “Milk Halwa”… Yippee !!!
Seeing all these colorful halwas at Kerala bakeries always gave me the feeling that it is something that never can be made at home. The food blogging world makes everything look so simple. I have not tasted milk Halwa ever – it does not look complicated either. Makes me want to taste one

They can definitely be made at home..a bit laborious though. The process is simple but needs lot of stirring 🙂
