Popularly known as Godhumai halwa, Wheat halwa is a delicious sweet made with whole wheat. This sweet is made at home and can be bought in the shops as well.

No additional flavour is added to this halwa to preserve the flavour of whole wheat flour. This is an easy dish to make and can be made at anytime when the heart craves for something sweet.
