Thank You Raji for this recipe. I tried this at home, and my kids loved it. I added a few more ingredients like 250g condensed milk, 225g golden caster sugar and 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup to make it a bit different, and trust me it tasted so nice. The rich flavor of chocolate makes it taste pleasant.

Once I prepared Maho Halwa for my guests at home, and they loved its taste. I will share here the link if you want to try ithttp://www.nestle-family.com/recipes/english/maho-halwa_47832.aspx
