bombay halwa / karachi halwa

bombay/karachi halwa

bombay halwa / karachi halwa recipe with step by step photos. A super silky, soft and melt in your mouth Indian sweet. A sweet which combines just a few basic ingredients from your kitchen. To make this sweet we need corn flour, sugar, ghee, water and nuts. Halwa is a very popular and easy to make sweet in India. Mainly we make halwa using sooji or semolina. Along with sooji halwa we also make atte ka halwa, gajar ka halwa, badam ka halwa and many more.

bombay / karachi halwa

what is bombay or karachi halwa

Unlike other famous halwas, the karachi halwa is not grainy in texture. This halwa is actually chewy type. We make this delicious sweet specially for some occasion or Indian festival like diwali, rakhi, nabratri. We can store it in an air tight container in fridge for many days because of longer shelf life compared to other indian sweets. It is avialable with a variety of colours including lemon yellow, orange, red and pinkish. Adding colour is optional, just to make this dish more attractive. Here I did not use any food colour. I used Hershey’s strawberry syrup to make this delicacy more beautiful. The main ingredient of this halwa is corn flour. This white colored corn flour is called as corn starch in western countries. In indian we call it as corn flour. So if you live in europe or america, use corn starch to make karachi halwa.
