How To Make Bread Halwa
Bread halwa, as you may have guessed, is a halwa made with milk, bits of bread, sugar and some dry fruits. Now for those untouched by the phenomenon of halwa, we must tell you that Indians have mastered the art of making halwa out of anything. Halwa is a porridge-like confection made with an array of ingredients like flour, lentil, nuts and even veggies. From gajar ka halwa to the outright bizarre Mirchi ka halwa, the range is mindboggling. This bread halwa is still one of the easiest and ‘safe’ experiments you can try your hands at.
In this dessert, you have to cook bread with ghee and sugar until you get a rich, velvety confection. Throw in the cardamom powder for the sweet aroma, some cashews for the crunch and you are done. The Halwa is incredibly popular in Hyderabad (yes, the same place that gave us ‘double ka meetha’).
