Desserts are irresistible. Rather than spending money on them, I prefer to make them at home. Its low cost, Hygiene and most of all, Fresh! Pumpkin Halwa is one such regular household dish in our house. Most of the times, I make it with the other half of pumpkin piece that is left behind after being used in Sambar! Hence, Pumpkin halwa is just a regular name in our kitchen. Here is the recipe for you all.
