Halawa from the Arabic root حلوى ḥalwā (sweet), refers to many types of sweet confection, across the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, the Balkans.
Most types of halva are relatively dense confections that are sweetened with sugar or honey. However, their textures are quite different. For example, semolina halva is gelatinous and translucent, while sesame halva is drier and more crumbly.
Indian cuisine is fun to eat and fun to try and understand the recipes.
Ghee ? That's clarified butter.
I wanted to use up some ripe bananas and copied this from an Indian web site.
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped apple (without skin)
1 cup chopped banana
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup milk or 1/2 cup milk powder
1 cup shreded coconut
3/4 cup ghee
2 cups sugar
Method
Grind carrot & milk.
Mix all the Ingredients together except ghee.
Keep on stirring till the apple & banana pieces are cooked & the halwa
becomes one mass.
Then add ghee, cardamom powder.
Remove from the stove top & decorate with nuts of your choice.
