Wheat milk Halwa with saffron, cardamom & nuts! Traditional sweet in a south Indian household. I'd call it labour of love squares! It does take a lot of effort and I am still amazed how my grand mum/ mum effortlessly pulled it off every week! This used to be our family favourite and will remain my favourite!
