This is one of the best tasting halwas I have had and super simple as well.... just a little doubt, can I store and refrigerate this? If yes, how many days? Please inform.
Loved this sweet... The walnuts are not too powdered and just enough coarse to give a good crunch and mouth feel. The quantity of sugar is perfect and of course the cardamom powder shouldn''t be missed out on as it is a taste enhancer.
