Nishasta is a very healthy and nutritious dish which is advised specially for children, women who have delivered a child and old people in winters, however it can be consumed by all the members of the family.

Nishasta is a dished served with hot milk but it also be eaten like a halwa but should not be consumed more than 2 tablespoons at once.

The main ingredients involve almonds, poppy seeds and whole white pepper. For this dish we can also use grated jiggery instead of white sugar. And for further sweetness we can also add raisins (kishmish) I believe that this dish should be prepared as per traditional method for best nutrients.
