Habshi Halwa is a milk halwa that is made by curdling, sweetening and flavoring milk. It is a slightly tedious task to cook the halwa as it takes longer to get it to the right consistency. But it is worth the effort because it brings together the best of milk solids, ghee, and nuts into the right dessert.
