I have attached very beautiful childhood memories with halwa....


Every winter, my grandfather(we called it pitaji) made this gajar ka halwa for us and he usually prepared in stove only (haath sekna or feel the aroma of halwa)

When he prepared this, we all cousins sat around it and waiting for the moment when gajar halwa is ready and pitaji give 1-1 spoon to everyone for tasting :D I miss those days and my dadu and dadi :'( Some memories never fade.
