No desi Indo-Pak cuisine is complete without the use of Halwa; it is present at the center of every other dessert menu. There are several ways to enjoy a halwa but the recipe we are going to share here today is going to amaze you as it is super simple and easy. This time we are making halwa with an entirely different set of ingredients, mainly the Bread! That’s right! And even tastes great. The bread is first deeply fried and then cooked and soaked in the saffron mixture, which infuses very soothing flavors into it. Then it is roughly mashed to get a Halwa texture. Toasted nuts are then added to enhance their taste up to many folds.
