  2. Hi,
    Thank you for your question. It is necessary to use some milk to give the halwa a real good test. We think you can replace the powder milk with condense milk.

  3. Hi ..Love you recipes as they have helped me many times. Can I use ready made date paste to do this instead of making my own paste? Can you please other types of deshi misti recipes on the website? Thanks
