Sooji Halwa

“Sooji ka Halwa” (Satyanarayan Sheero) is one of my mumma’s very special dish! On the other side, I’m not-into-sweets person, so I never cared to learn it from her… :( And look at the destiny! My hubby just loves sweets & desserts!!!
During my stay at in-laws, my mother-in-law used to make it often… She never bothered me about it as everyone knew tat I stay away from sweets! But I bugged her at times n she kept explaining it step-by-step to me :) Finally… I follow each of her tips while making this super-duper sweet n I make sure to bring my mumma’s taste into it :P
Thanks to mummy n mumma both!!!
