Thank you Vidya for your kind words. I do not have any particular weight reduction recipe. You can avoid fatty foods and above all exercise with balanced diet.
your receipes are too tasty.but can we add jaggery instead of sugar for this halwas?
Thank you for your kind words. You can add jaggery instead of sugar. However, jaggery will dominate the flavour of other ingredients. But with certain ingredients like ragi/beetroot, you can make halwa with jaggery.
