Notes

  • This can also be made on the stove top since it doesn’t require pressure. However, I literally use my instant pot for cooking everything. So, I decided to try this recipe out using sauté mode.
  • The key to making this halwa is to add boiling milk and water. Also it needs to be stirred continually in order to prevent it from getting lumpy.
  • This halwa tastes best when it is fresh.
