i have already a far cousin of this recipe which is popularly known as corn flour halwa or karachi halwa. as matter of fact, both recipes are unique with different texture and taste but share same ingredients. personally, i am big fan of bombay karachi halwa because of its shape and texture but i cannot deny the taste of ice halwa recipe. my first encounter with this recipe is very recent during my last india visit. one of my far cousins had brought this from mumbai and i was really intrigued by its shape and colour. my first reaction was to look into the ingredients, even though i had felt for its source. but somehow i had missed this recipe after coming back to australia, until i got recipe request for this recipe. so finally here i am posting an amazing and popular dessert recipe.
while the recipe is super simple to prepare, yet some tips and precautionary steps while preparing the ice halwa recipe. firstly, do not compromise on adding the sugar as it helps to set the halwa. also, make sure to keep the flame on low for first 5 minutes, else there are chances for corn flour to form lumps and ruin the entire halwa recipe. lastly, adding colour to ice halwa is completely optional, or add the colour of yourchoice to make it look more attractive.
