Notes
- This halwa requires less ghee unlike other halwas.You can even reduce little ghee say in total add 2 tablespoon but add in intervals.
- Use heavy bottomed pan as milk has to reduce it takes time so may burn if you use normal thin kadai.
- You can use grated coconut or pulse the coconut pieces in mixie and use it.
- Use only fresh coconut.
- Add a tiny pinch of salt to lift the sweetness more.
- I used milk which was already boiled and cooled down so suggest to do the same.If you use raw milk there are chances for curdling so better to boil and add for sweets.
- If you want mild sweetness then add just 3 tablespoon sugar.
