A packet of sweet corn, milk, sugar and ghee is all it takes to bring about an awesome and exotic taste of sweetness. I prepared this halwa with the main intention of giving my daughter the benefit of nutrition’s in sweet corn. But then the halwa turned out so well that everyone started asking for more. The trick in this recipe is that the ingredients and method is just a few lines but the process for making it tests your patience. It takes a whole hour of your time to stir the halwa, till it reaches the required consistency. So keep your cool, prepare it and relish it warm!
