A halwa is my most commonly tried out recipe. After Dates, Banana, Maida and Papaya halwas, here i am presenting Cornflour halwa which is a no fail recipe. It is very easy to make when compared to the other halwas as the time taken for the mixture to thicken in the pan is very less. Any colour can be added. Here i used a few drops of red rouge edible food colour. A very tasty and easy to prepare Halwa recipe. Enjoy.
