Description

I am sure we all Indians with no difference in caste and creed were die hard fans of the movie hum apke hai kuan. I am no exceptional to this. I really lost count of how many times I must have seen the movie. The [salty] Halwa scene.. one of the most memorable scenes from the film and a classic has always wanted me to try the North Indian version of the halwa. I ask my North Indian friends about this recipe. Each person gave me a recipe that’s a slight variation of its own. I decided to try a recipe to my convenience. As making the halwa, the salt halwa scene was playing in mind. The halwa was made with a big fat smile on my face.All I hoped for was Just a little bit of sparkling romance like Prem and nisha to happen at home after hubby dear would relish the halwa. The results of the halwa look wise was just perfect. The confident me waiting for hubby dears verdict …
He eats it with out uttering a word .. not even knowing it was a new sweet dish served to him ..
well that’s the level of romance that happened.
