Notes

  1. I have soaked dates to turn them soft. Before grinding make sure dates is soft, and water is not hot
  2. Corn flour helps to cut the halwa into soft burfi. You can skip it
  3. I have coarse ground nuts but you can powder them according to your choice
  4. Cook halwa in low- medium flame. Avoid high flame
  5. Ghee oozes out after preparing halwa. You can reduce the ghee quantity but halwa tastes best with this much ghee
